SOLVED: Re: Can't login into my Cyrus IMAP !!!!!!!!!!

[Andres Tarallo]

With you tip and adding the line listed below the problem is solved:

sasl_saslauthd_path: /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/mux

As a side comment: thing would have been easier if Ubuntu developers
provided example files or configuration files that just work

Thanks
