lmtp through tcp doesn't find the mailbox

[Matt Baker]

You're using

unixhierarchysep: true

so you need to use slashes instead of "."s. e.g

cm user/test

test.de is the default so you don't need the domain part here.
to make a mailbox on a non-default domain

cm user/test at blah.com

a sub folder

cm user/test at blah.com/Sent

Those suggestions came from my first google search.

Do you think you could keep this problem to the same thread/subject please?

Cheers,

Matt
