    David,

    I tried various combinations based on your suggestions. The --prefix2
    "INBOX." was the most interesting. Instead of userxyz, I ended up with
    INBOXxyz. Just a variation on the same problem.

    One thing I did forget to mention. The saslauthd program is pointing to
    the shadow file at the moment, and none of the folks (ultimately I need
    to move about 4,500 accounts) are in the shadow file. I have to
    eventually switch the pointer to LDAP but that requires some other prep
    that I'm not yet ready for. But could that possibly explain my problem?
