/etc/imapd.conf

You *really* should read the Cyrus docs so you have a basic 
understanding of what you dealing with.

You might not, but we don't know what the client is doing until we see 
the telemetry.  Look for the 'configdir' option in /etc/imapd.conf and 
then create a <configdir>/log/<userid> directory (writable by the cyrus 
user), where <configdir> is the directory specified by the configdir 
option and <userid> is the userid of the user trying to create a folder.

The directory you create will start to fill up with telemetry logs (one 
per connection) named by pid.
