Thank you Michael for quick reply.

So "unixhierarchysep = yes" in my imapd.conf should change the dot vel caret
to slash?

Unfortunately it doesn't, but indeed it would solve my problem. Can it be
covered by the same variable set to "no" in another file?


I receive a lot of logs from all Cyrus daemons, but I actually wanted to
turn on some kind of debugging (to find why it doesn't search in user
subdirectory). Dr Google told me about CYRUS_VERBOSE=1, but placed in
/etc/init.d/cyrus-master changed nothing.

Your advise about unixhierarchysep probably makes me happy with the current
level of logging.




Thank you
Artur
