This seems to indicate an error with login (using digest-md5). Mmmm, let’s
leave “strong/secure auth” for later

And here cyrus user logins correctly with plaintext. O.k.

Mmm. There is a problem here. “Seen” is a hidden file Cyrus uses to track
messages already read by the user… and it seems can’t find that file.

O.k. no problem. Many of my clients are still using Outlook 2000 MUAs, too.
In fact, my Cyruses here serve “a mix” of clients: windows mobile, kmail,
thunderbird, outlook 2000 and outlook 2007.
JFYI, the “e” bug can be solved by following these steps:

First… with that setup I am not sure you are using a “multihost”
environment. Look how I have to login with cyradm:
cyradm --auth login domain.com --user cyrus@domain.com
I have to specify the domain name (“domain.com”) and the full user name
(“cyrus@domain.com”). Without that, Cyrus couldn’t differentiate which
users belong to which domain (i.e., you may have the same user in different
domains).
Take a look here to get the big picture
Configuring Virtual Domains
http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/imapd/install-virtdomains.html
Second… all users listed in “cyradm” should start with “user\username” if
you have configured Cyrus to allow “dots” in username
(such “surname.name@domain.com”). So I think you should have to recreate
the users. How did you create them? :-?

Mmmm…

I leave the interesting lines… Take into account that I am using openSUSE
10.3 (and sasldb) and some notes I make can be just right in your setup if
you are on a newer openSUSE release (i.e., 11.1).

It seems there is a typo here :-?

That’s o.k. for using pam and /etc/shadow passwords. A typo here, also

I am not sure about this one. Shoudn’t be “sasluthd”, like the above?

What is this for? Just curiosity… O:-)

By setting this, all users you are creating will be for this domain

Mmmm, not sure about this one. Better read the “man imapd.conf” to be sure
is O.K.

Well, I think you have the answer here:
Why do CRAM-MD5 and DIGEST-MD5 not work with CyrusSaslauthd?

It’s a bit outdated, though…
