Performed following tests.


$ telnet lampserver 143
Trying 127.0.1.1...
Connected to lampserver.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK lampserver Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12-Debian-2.2.12-4ubuntu1 server ready

. OK User logged in
. list "Mail" "*"
. OK Completed (0.000 secs 1 calls)
. logout
* BYE LOGOUT received
. OK Completed

* end "


Not much information displayed on running;
. list "Mail" "*"
???

Why user "satimiscyrus" is displayed here and twice?  "cyrus" is
user"admin".  "satimiscyrus" is displayed here as "user/satimiscyrus"
NOT ""user.satimiscyrus"?


Furthermore I'm NOT very clear of user"cyrus" password and admin"cyrus"
password.


I created admin"cyrus" password by running;
# saslpasswd2 -c cyrus
Password: xyz1
Again (for verification): xyz1


and user"cyrus" password by running;
Enter new UNIX password: xyz
Retype new UNIX password: xyz


Most times I use "xyz".  When I have to use "xyz1"?


Please advise.  TIA
