Hi trichard,

I got my "-a" and "-u" parameters mixed up. It must have been late when
I wrote that one!

If you use
imtest -u test -a test at mydomain.com -m plain -t '' localhost

I bet it will let you select your inbox.

Is your machine's name post.mydomain.com? Did you create the test user
like this?:
saslpasswd2 -c -u mydomain.com test

If so, create the user without using the "-u" option, or create it with
"-u post.mydomain.com". This should let you put a username of "test" in
Outlook Depress (or whatever MUA you are using), as well as using "test"
for both the "-u" and "-a" arguments for imtest.

Mike.
