It occured to me, if I can't select the mailbox, how did I get the
mail in there in the first place? My script transfers mail using
the imap protocol. Well, for speed I transfered the mail on
localhost.

It turns out that imap defaultdomain works perfectly - but only on
loopback interface (now that's really usefull :-))

Here is what I get:

Telnetsession on loopback interface:
[norgaard at top norgaard]$ telnet 127.0.0.1 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.example.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK top.example.com Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.8 server ready
1 login "norgaard at example.com" ******
1 OK User logged in
2 namespace
* NAMESPACE (("" ".")) (("Other Users." ".")) (("Shared Folders." "."))
2 OK Completed

Telnet session on real interface:
[norgaard at top norgaard]$ telnet 192.168.0.4 143
Trying 192.168.0.4...
Connected to top.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK top.example.com Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.8 server ready
1 login "norgaard at example.com" "Bh7u#eYh"
1 OK User logged in
2 namespace
* NAMESPACE NIL (("Other Users." ".")) (("Shared Folders." "."))
2 OK Completed

This also explains why I had Squirrelmail working since it was
running on the same host (I guess I just changed the servername
and things - now obviously - stopped working).

Mystery deepens...!
