It seems that when you try to connect with pop3 a child process is spawned as it should, but it dies unexpectedly so a new is spawned. Could it be something as simple as permissions to access the mailbox files? Rather than relying on log files, try to launch the master manually with the -D flag, it may give you a more verbose output. > I tried both cyrus-imapd23 and 22 with default configurations but it > gives the same problem every time. > > I have similar configuration on 6.4-RELEASE without such troubles. Similar but not the same? Sounds like you should review again your config files, also, the versions of cyrus-imapd on your working installation, is that the same as the new one? Consider posting your configs in next post. BR, Erik -- Erik Nørgaard Ph: +34.666334818/+34.915211157 http://www.locolomo.org
