Unable to access mailboxs as mboxadmin on 9.4.2.4 server

[mikevl]

Hi

I have been trying to get sxmboxadmin working on a 9.4.2.4 server. After researching articles 3914 I am still unable to get this working on the RHEL4.4 server

* OK Scalix IMAP server 9.4.2.4 ready on brutus.xyz.com
10 login "sxmboxadmin:sxadmin:luke" sxadminpass
10 NO LOGIN failure, user name or password rejected
10 login "mboxadmin:sxadmin:luke" sxadminpass
10 login mboxadmin:sxadmin:luke sxadminpass
10 NO LOGIN failure, user name or password rejected
10 login "mboxadmin:sxadmin user:luke" sxadminpass
10 NO LOGIN failure, user name or password rejected
10 login "mboxadmin:sxadmin user:luke@xyz.com" flyspray99
10 NO LOGIN failure, user name or password rejected
10 login :mboxadmin:sxadmin user:james" sxadminpass
10 NO LOGIN failure, user name or password rejected

SXadmin works
10 login sxadmin sxadminpass
10 OK LOGIN completed, now connected to brutus.xyz.com

The user works
10 login luke userpass
10 OK LOGIN completed, now connected to brutus.xyz.com

sxadmin has mbox admin capabilities

I've never been able to get mboxadmin to work on 9.4.2, whereas it works for me as advertised on 10.x

mboxadmin capability was made available in the server from 10.0.0.67 onwards so you won't be able to use it on a 9.x server.

I eventually concluded as much, in spite of the 9.4x manpages... .

[dkelly]

I should have been a little clearer...mboxadmin for IMAP wasn't available until 10.0.0.67. It was a feature that we introduced for user migrations from other products through MAPI but people wanted ( specifically to inspect other people's mailboxes ) the ability through IMAP also.

So the man page will be correct for om[mod|add]u.
