Imap Problem

[checkoutchuck]

Hi, im using Server 10.3.9.

Had a few problems the other week with mail not working, eventually fixed with the following method

serveradmin stop mail
mv /var/imap/ /var/imap.old
mkdir /var/imap
/usr/bin/cyrus/tools/mkimap
chown -R cyrus:mail /var/imap
sudo -u cyrus /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -i
serveradmin start mail

However now Imap is timing out for two of my users who need to use imap. Entourage can see the imap folders and even how many emails are in them. But it keeps bring up some crap Entourage error -17895 (which could mean anything)

On the server log I get this error message though

Jan 30 18:01:43 mail imap[564]: login: [192.168.254.248] CRAM-MD5 User logged in
Jan 30 18:01:45 mail master[510]: process 564 exited, signaled to death by 6

Does anyone know why it might be killing off this process? Have tried starting and stopping imap access but to no avail.

Cheers
Chuck

try a reconstruct for those users.

serveradmin stop mail
sudo -u cyrusimap /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -f -r user/username

enable webmail

serveradmin start mail

login via squirrel mail and check for errors. – squirell mail dos a nice job of reading the imap mailboxes and reporting any ” Real ” imap problems.

Hey I tried that, but got the following message

sudo: no passwd entry for cyrusimap!

How do I get around that?
