>From the command line, log on to the cyrus server as the user listed in the admins entry of the imapd.conf file
cyradm -u <First User> localhost
After logging in with the password in the LDAP database for <First User>, create the mailbox with the new users uid LDAP entry, at the cyradm prompt. (Assuming the new user, <New User>, has a email address of nuser@mydomain.com and a uid entry in the LDAP database of nuser)
Example 5-1. Creating the mailbox
>cm user.nuser
>lm
INBOX user.nuser
user.fuser user.suser
>lam user.nuser
nuser lrswipcda |
The previous lines create the mailbox, list the mailboxes to make sure that it worked and then list the permissions on the new mailbox. Next, exit the cyradm utility.
>quit
To allow the user to access their mail using a POP3 client, add a directory to /var/imap/log with the user's corresponding uid. Make sure that the permissions are correct. For example, <New User> wants POP3 access:
Example 5-2. Commands to Add POP3 Access
cd /var/imap/log
mkdir nuser
chown cyrus nuser
chgrp mail nuser
chmod 750 nuser |
