Thanks, for your quick reply.
o.k. I go away from this plain stuff and it works via kerberos as you
can see below.

But my main problem is not solved. If I try to create a subfolder via my
prefered imap client the fronted server also running mupdate master on
it tells me

    "IOERROR: Mailbox name too long"

I enabled telemetry logging on the frontend-master.server and it says

    <1397735852<7 create "user.pollaktest.testplainmboxr.jaja"
    >1397735852>7 NO Invalid mailbox name

The problem appears after the dist-upgrade from debian squeeze to wheezy.
That also means we have a newer cyrus-imapd version (2.4.16)

Are there any changes concerning this problem since cyrus-imapd2.2?

Best,
Nina
