Thank you. I have added the suggested text to the password prompt when there is no username prompt.

I did not add your printf() to the mail_create() failure, since mailutil already prints the server error message. "Invalid name for mailbox" is the wrong text in any case, since all the client knows is that mail_create() failed but not why. The only thing that an extra message could say is "Can't create mailbox" which likely duplicates what the server already said (and would with a UW server).

I consider the problem to be that the Cyrus server isn't issuing a useful message. I suggest that you bring up the issue with the Cyrus maintainers. They're good people, and I'm sure if you ask nicely they'll fix the message to be more informative.
