Using cyrus-imapd-2.2.12 and virtdomains: userid is the least confusing |
| 7 |
configuration I could figure out. |

It takes some getting used to the weird syntax when creating mailboxes and |
| 10 |
folders: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
localhost> cm user.joeblow@××××××××.com |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Creates joeblow@××××××××.com, which is their login id. Now to create |
| 15 |
folders for joeblow@××××××××.com: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
localhost> cm user.joeblow.Sent@××××××××.com |
| 18 |
localhost> cm user.joeblow.Trash@××××××××.com |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The folders are stored in: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
/var/spool/imap/domain/w/wherever.com/j/user/joeblow |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Intuitive? Hell no, backwards as hell if you ask me! |

Which is why I opted for storing users in mysql and the autocreate patches. |
| 27 |
Create the user in the database and send them an email, the folders are |
| 28 |
automatically created. |
| 29 |
|

Example imapd.conf entries for autocreation of the folders, subscripts, and |
| 31 |
quota: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
# |
| 34 |
# autocreate options. Do not use createonpost unless sendmail |
| 35 |
# can verify valid addresses before delivery. |
| 36 |
# |
| 37 |
autocreatequota: 50000 |
| 38 |
createonpost: no |
