Dear Brian,

Thank you for your reply.

The mailboxes were not copied from another machine, the were (and are
still being) created by cyrus on this machine. The ownership of
/var/spool/cyrus/....  is recursively user cyrus and group mail, exactly
like on the older installation.

Still have not figured this out.

Thank
