cyrus-imap configuration question

[Charles Bradshaw]

Thanks Dan, Here are the details you asked for.

My /etc/imapd.conf :

configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: cyrus
sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve
sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail
hashimapspool: true
sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5
sasl_auxprop_plugin:sasldb
#allowplaintext: no
#defaultdomain: mail
tls_cert_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd.pem
tls_key_file: /etc/pki/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-imapd.pem
tls_ca_file: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
# uncomment this if you're operating in a DSCP environment (RFC-4594)
# qosmarking: af13

I have played with allowplaintext and defaultdomain.
For the record the 3 sasl_... values are the same as the entries in
/etc/sasl2/Sendmail.conf

Directory ownership:

ls -ld /var/lib/imap
drwxr-x---. 18 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 19 19:37 lib/imap

ls -l lib/imap

ls -ld /var/spool/imap
drwxr-x---. 4 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 19 11:39 /var/spool/imap

ls -l /var/spool/imap
total 8
drwxr-xr-x. 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 19 11:39 stage.
drwxr-xr-x. 2 cyrus mail 4096 Jan 19 11:39 sync.

stage. and sync. are empty

The only possibility I see above is mailboxes.db is root:root <<<< IS THIS THE
PROBLEM?

I assume this was created during:
[root at dell2600 ~]# su cyrus
bash-4.2$ /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/mkimap
