====== Cyrus-IMAPD ======

Since Cyrus-IMAPD is not installed yet, start yast and install it with the SLES 11 CD.

===== Edit imapd.conf =====

This configuration is at "/etc/imapd.conf".
Edit the following with vi:

Line 14 insert so Cyrus can check the passwords in plaintext.
<code>sasl_mech_list: plain login</code>

Line 17 insert to use be able to use unencrypted passwords.
<code>allowplaintext: yes</code>

Save and start Cyrus
<code>rccyrus start</code>

Insert to start Cyrus on boot
<code>chkconfig cyrus on</code>

Add path "/etc/sasl" with all subfolders to group "Mail"
<code>chown –R root:mail /etc/sasl*</code>

Change the Cyrus password
<code>passwd cyrus</code>

In the next step you create a mailbox for an user. Before you can do this you have to add a new user without the availability to log into the shell. You also dont need a homedirectory. For more mailboxes you have to add more users.
<code>useradd lunetikk –s /bin/false</code>

"lunetikk" needs a password for authentification at the mailbox.
<code>passwd lunetikk</code>

Login with user "Cyrus" into the Cyrus-shell
<code>cyradm --user cyrus localhost</code>
In this shell you can **c**reate a new **m**ailbox for user "lunetikk"
<code>cm user.lunetikk</code>

with lm (listmailbox) you can list all created boxes.
<code>lm 
user.lunetikk (HasNoChildren)
exit</code>

Thats it, Postfix and Cyrus are now configured and can be used with an e-mail client.
