Just to add a bit more information - I just installed a RH7 server with a modified
Red Hat src rpm for Cyrus - I think it is version 2.0.6-3?  Anyway, Cyrus is up and
running, but when you create a sub folder under the inbox, and store a message in
it - the Cyrus server crashes when you access the sub folder.  Now, this is not
through IMP, but rather through Netscape Messenger (or any client imap interface) -
so it is not an isolated incident and its not IMP that is the problem.

BTW, if anyone has any info on a crashing Cyrus server when you create sub folders,
please let me know.  You can send mail to amodeo@admin.rutgers.edu since its not
really related to imp/horde.

Thanks,
John
