The configs are attached.
We have 4 frontend and 4 backend server, but thunderbird and
webmail-client are configured to use only one frontend, as this is
easier to debug.

It seems to show up immediately in the mailbox list.

It is often the case, that one of our frontend servers does not know the
new mailbox, but the other three servers do get it. But it is not
unknown to the frontend, which created the mailbox. As this is the only
frontend to which we connect at the moment, it should be able to
subscribe to the mailbox, shouldn't it?

Until now, we only use cyrus without murder environment.
