Description

The mailboxcreate module tests the functioning of a Cyrus murder master by creating a new mailbox under the top-level directory for the username on the host. It then renames that mailbox and optionally deletes it.

The Cyrus system allows the backends to operate independently and in a distributed fashion, but synchronization is necessary when a user performs actions that change his or her folder hierarchy. The backend must notify the murder master of such changes, which are eventually replicated to the frontend mailbox location caches.

Examples

  1. To create a mailbox on the host being cheked and not delete after creation: 
         module mailboxcreate {
       username bob
       password pw
       delete false
     }
  2. To create a mailbox over non-SSL IMAP: 
         module mailboxcreate {
       protocol imap
       username alice
       password pw
     }
