howto: set up a cyrus development environment

[Conrad Kleinespel]

Hello Bron,

Thanks for the tips.

User "cyrus" was not in group "mail". This is now fixed on my machine. I
then re-ran the test runner with the "-v" flag. I'm getting a "no valid
identifier" for the "setacl" command. This is not the case when testing
on the cyrus-imapd-2.5 branch as suggested by Ellie. With that branch,
the first two tests pass, which is not the case on "master".

Here's the output:

C: 1 login admin "testpw"

Is that to be expected with master at the moment ?

Thanks again.

Best regards,
