Ok. You're finally getting connected to the cyrus server, now, as opposed 
to whatever imap server was setup and running. The user.manuka is reporting 
'HasNoChildren', which it should do if the other imap server were still 
running.

Those timestamps on the user.* files in the mailadm file are from yesterday 
afternoon. cd to your default spool and do a find for a user's name (find . 
-name 'manuka'). You should find a directory in the spool directory 
structure with that user's name and with several cyrus.* files.
