Authentication failed. generic failure

[Jeff Warnica]

Have you created a mailbox for that user? You cant login unless the user
has a inbox.. Initialy login with the user 'cyrus' (which should be in
the "admins:" line in your imapd.conf).. This account will need a
password, so do whatever it takes in your setup to create a 'real' cyrus
account.
