Problem on creating users account and their mail boxes

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,


Ubuntu LTS 6.06 amd64


Hi folks,


Having tried a day unable to figure out how to add users' accounts.


Steps performed as follows;


$ su cyrus
Password: xyz

sh-3.1$ cyradm localhost
IMAP Password: xyz
              localhost> cm user.aaa
localhost> cm user.bbb
localhost> cm user.ccc
etc.
localhost> quit
sh-3.1$ 

all went through without complaint


Change to root

sh-3.1$ su
Password: 

# saslpasswd2 aaa
Password: 
Again (for verification):


# saslpasswd2 bbb
Password: 
Again (for verification): 


# saslpasswd2 bbb
Password: 
Again (for verification) 

etc.  All also went through without complaint.


However on SquirrelMail I can't login to their accounts.

$ su cyrus

INBOX.Drafts (\NonExistent \HasNoChildren)

user.ddd (\HasNoChildren)                
user/satimiscyrus (\HasNoChildren) 
etc.


They are there.  satimiscyrus appears there twice, as
"user/satimiscyrus" and "user.satimiscyrus".  I don't know why?    



Emails sent to them are rejected.  Example email sent to user.aaa

$ su aaa
Unknown id: aaa

$ su bbb
Unknown id: bbb

etc.


Searching the notes taken down during installing this box.


I ran;
# cyradm -u cyrus localhost
Password: 
localhost> cm user.satimiscyrus


creating this acount "satimiscyrus" which is the only working account
disregarding the problem re unable deleting the emails received and the
sent_emails can't be saved on "INBOX.sent"


Please help.  TIA
