Re: Kmail is not working with my Cyrus Imap server

Hi Martin,

my mail server log says:

> Jan 19 13:20:44 /servername/ cyrus/master[26409]: about to exec 
> /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/imapd
> Jan 19 13:20:47 /servername/ cyrus/imap[26409]: executed

> Jan 19 13:20:53 /servername/ cyrus/imap[26409]: login: /clientname/ 
> [/client-ip/] /username/ plaintext User logged in

I still don't see any of my folders in Kmail, though.

Thanks for your help, G.
