HI Bjoern,
Thanks for the tip. I added and set to no the lmtp_downcase_rcpt and
username_tolower. Then I restarted the cyrus, postfix and saslauthd.
I tried to login #cyradm --user 4356Z localhost, the behavior and the error
was still the same.
saslauthd[3083]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=4356z] [service=imap]
[realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
Anymore idea?
Thanks,
John

Try:
to edit xour imapd.conf:
"# Forcing recipient user to lowercase
# Cyrus 2.2 is case-sensitive. If all your mail users are in lowercase, it
is
# probably a very good idea to set lmtp_downcase_rcpt to true. This is set
by
# default, per RFC2821. This was not set by default in debian versions up
to
# and including 2.2.12-4.
lmtp_downcase_rcpt: yes"
Set lmtp_downcase_rcpt to : no
