cyrus login troubles

I sent this yesterday but I think I forgot some important information.

I have been working getting cyrus 2.2.8 running for the past two days but I am having some serious issues. When my email client prompts me for the password I get the following error: 'Sending password did not succeed.  Mail server stasis.randomthoughtprocess.com responded:Unable to locate maildrop: Mailbox doesn't exist.'

Here are some of the files that I think might help diagnos the problem. Like i said I have tried everything to get this to work, but I know that there is something that I am missing.

Any insight to this would be greatly appreciated. Setting up a mail server is a NEW concept for me and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
