    Hello,

    I am running cyrus imap 2.2 ( Debian etch package ) and have been trying
    to configure it to accept connections through lmtpd tcp/ip.

    I can connect though imapd using telnet, or imtest or cyradm using the
    admin user listed in /etc/imapd.conf. In each case, the admin user is
    authenticated, and can list the mailboxes.

    I can also connect through lmtpd using telnet or lmtest. In each case
    the admin user is authenticated but cannot list the mailboxes.

    I have monitored the connections through strace, ltrace and via the
    usual /var/log/mail.log and /var/log/auth.log to see if the user was
    being authenticated properly ( it was via cyrus sasl auxprop and
    postgres tables for what it's worth )

    I can also see that lmtpd is opening mailboxes.db but then shortly
    afterwards, reports that the mailbox requested does not exist or I do
    not have permission to view it. They do exist, and the permissions are
    for anyone to read the mailbox in question. I can list them through
    imapd/cyradm.

    I have changed many settings over several days, and deleted then
    re-installed cyrus - along with the config files - twice, in an attempt
    to figure out what is wrong, but I have never been able to list
    mailboxes through lmtpd.

    I know I have made a fundamental error somewhere. Any pointers would be
    much appreciated.

    I am happy to supply any logs, config files etc.

    Thanks for any pointers.

    Steve
