The newsspool option is deprecated and not needed.

I have managed imapd.conf like this:

partition-default: /var/spool/imap
partition-news: /var/spool/imap/news
altnamespace: yes
newspeer: news-in.newsfeeds.com:119 news-out.newsfeeds.com:119
unixhierarchysep: yes
newsprefix: Usenet

Have you created the "Usenet.comp.mail.imap" mailbox on your "news" partition (/var/spool/imap/news) and given at least the "anonymous" user the "p" right? You probably want to grant your newsgroups "anyone lrsp".

localhost.localdomain> cm Usenet/comp.mail.imap
localhost.localdomain> sam Usenet/comp.mail.imap anyone lrsp

Since you have enabled unixhierarchysep, you should create

Usenet/comp/mail/imap

This is the IMAP name of the mailbox.

I ran :

localhost.localdomain> cm Usenet/comp/mail/imap

and tree sub-mailboxes have been created, I started nntpd and nothing is delivered into "imap".

I still don't get it. :-[

Can an NNTP client access the server and see the comp.mail.imap group?

You could also login in with nntptest and try:

LIST
GROUP comp.mail.imap

You could also try using the POST command.

I searched for an HowTo about using Cyrus-nntpd but I can't find any, the 'man pages' don't seem to be enough (for me).

Thanks.
