Creating mailboxes with cyradm - useraccount with a 'dot'

[Michael Menge]

Hi,

If you use unixhierarchysep: 0 in you /etc/imapd.conf (which is default)
the . is used as hierarchyseperator.
So in your case user.peter.testaccount would be the Folder testaccount  
of the user peter.

There are two way use ^ to replace .

cm user.peter^testaccount

Or use unixhierarchysep: 1 so / is used as hierarchyseperator.

cm user/peter.testaccount

Regards

         Michael
