This problem is almost certainly due to some error you have made. Note as well that restrictBox (not "restrictMailbox") is a mask of various bits, not a boolean. > Im not running imapd in inetd as root, instead im runnign > it as a non privleged user, not sure if thats an issue there or not. Yes it is an issue. If imapd isn't root then it can't log in. > Another thing is that im a little confused about the best way to change > the sysInbox option. i would like it set to /var/mail/$username, so if i > were to do this would substituing in "/var/mail" for MAILSPOOL be > sufficient. sysInbox is already set that way. Why would you want to change it? It sounds to me that you have not installed the software properly, and have started to make changes without understanding how it works in the default mode.
