Setup problem - cannot create folders/admin/mailbox? (fwd)

[Joe Dennick]

Is there a sasl_mech_list: directive in your imapd.conf file?  It should
probably look like this:

sasl_mech_list: PLAIN

If that's there, you shouldn't have to specify the mechs each time you
want to login to imap.

That worked! I am able to get in, it prompts me for password, then for
imap password. I need to figure out what the imap password is and I'll
be home free.

THANKS!
