The only guide Google pointed me to is this one, who seems a bit outdated : http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~venkat/tutorial1.html So I tried to follow it, making all the changes I could figure out. First, I installed mail/cyrus-imapd23 instead of mail/cyrus-imapd2. The first issue came when I su'd to the cyrus user and ran mkimap, where I got a permissions problem : chown: ./socket/lmtp: Operation not permitted No big deal, I thought, and just chown'ed /var/imap/socket/ltmp to cyrus as root. Everything else went fine, or at least seemed to, until I created the password for cyrus using saslpasswd2. No error message, but this apppears in my auth.log : saslpasswd2: sql_select option missing saslpasswd2: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available And then, when I try to login using the command described in the guide, I get : Please enter your password: C: L01 LOGIN cyrus {1} S: L01 NO Login only available under a layer Authentication failed. generic failure Security strength factor: 0 And the same thing than before in my auth.log : imap[53980]: sql_select option missing imap[53980]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available Any help to solve this would be greatly appreciated.
