In your discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of SilkyMail, you

state that SilkyMail 1.0 is a free and open source client, but on downloading
it, this appears not to be the case. SilkyMail makes use of the IMP package,
which is licensed under the GPL, but the package requires download of two
separate archives, one of which contains client code, as well as a copy of
Apache, OpenLDAP, and various support libraries. This package appears to be
licensed under a far more restrictive arrangement, and the version available
for download is only an evaluation copy.

Please add in Common Problems, Chapter 7, that if users are to use the
'sasl_pwcheck_method = sasldb' in 'imapd.conf', they should 'chown cyrus:mail
/etc/sasldb'. Else, it won't work.

FYI: I'm trying to install/configure/run Cyrus IMAP 2.0.16 from source on Red Hat
Linux 7.2.

The paragraph under "Odds and Ends" says to "Create the supporting files

in the configuration directory with the permissions shown." However, the text
giving the commands for setting up the configuration directory does not show
the permissions to which the file (mailboxes) and the directories (user, quota,
proc, log, and msg) should be set.

I would guess, given the permissions for the other files and directories set up
on this page, the permissions should be set via "chmod 750 *".

The first paragraph describes how to use cyradm to create a user.

However, doing this requires the administrator to have already started imapd,
which (if strictly following the author's steps), is not started until the
section "Getting Cyrus Up And Running," where the steps to adding an entry to
inetd.conf are described.

The first line of the 3rd code sample now reads:

cd /var/spool/cyrus/usr/debug

However, on page 141, the spool directory that is created to hold the user
files is /var/spool/imap, not /var/spool/cyrus, so this line should read:

cd /var/spool/imap/usr/debug

The paragraph below the owl states that you must have "d (delete)"

rights to delete a mailbox. This is no longer the case under Cyrus 2.0.x.
Deleteing a mailbox now requires "c (create)" rights.
