Hi,
we have upgraded our servers from debian squeeze to wheezy.
So the cyrus packages are now 2.4.16 (former 2.2)

Since then we have a few problems:
The server were not able to save the message in the sent-folder.
This we fixed. But then or beside exists another problem.
If I will create a new subfolder via frontend server, following messages
appears in the logfile:

IOERROR: Mailbox name too long

And no subfolder is created.

It seems there is a problem with the authentication in our murder setup.

cyrus at backend:~$ mupdatetest -u cyrplain -m plain frontend-master.server
S: A01 NO "undefined error!"
Authentication failed. generic failure
Security strength factor: 0

On the backend server everything is working fine.

Can you please point me in the right direction.
