I cannot get that to work with 2.0.16. I added unixhierarchysep: yes to 
my imapd.conf but that did not make it. Are there any patches for 2.0.16 
which I can download ? I cannot easily update to 2.1.9 because I had to 
do many things in the cyrus 2.0.16 sources to get lmtp and sieve working 
with my sendmail. I remeber I had to do changes in deliver.c and so 
forth which I did not document (ahhh). I downloaded the 2.1.9 sources 
and did a diff on the directories and nearly every file and the 
directory structure changed.

Still the same !

I have testtesttest in the loginrealms and it does not work ! Even 
without unixhierarchysep. I cannot login to 
user.testtesttest at testtesttest with login testtesttest at testtesttest !

I think this would do it. But how to enable that in 2.0.16 ?
