Hi Musawwir

Thanks for your encouragement.

After having tried couple days now I suspect the problem coming from
Cyrus-imapd.

The complete story is as follows;

I have an unfinished test "One Time Password" which has been posted on
this mailing list.  I followed the document installing;

cyrus-imapd-2.2 as well as SquirrelMail

Because I can't locate cyrus-imapd-utils and cyrus-sasl on Ubuntu repo
I stopped there.  Then I continued setup SquirrelMail.

I have installed following packages;
uw-imapd
uw-imapd-ssl
uw-mailutils
gamin
ipopd
ipopd-ssl
libc-client-dev
etc.

Now I found on running;

# netstat -tap | grep imap
tcp 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN 3881/cyrmaster

cyrmaster is running NOT uw-imapd.  However cyrmaster is the process
controlling all Cyrus processes.

Performed following steps;

$ sudo /etc/init.d/cyrus2.2 stop
Stopping Cyrus IMAPd: cyrmaster.

$ sudo netstat -tap | grep imap
No printout.  cyrmaster stops running.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart
No printout

$ sudo netstat -tap | grep imap
$ sudo netstat -tap | grep imap2
Both w/o printout

uw-imapd is NOT working.

Now I'm considering erasing following packages;
uw-imapd
uw-imapd-ssl
uw-mailutils
gamin
ipopd
ipopd-ssl
libc-client-dev
etc.

Try to download cyrus-imapd-utils and cyrus-sasl somewhere and get them
installed running cyrus-imapd instead.  Because I need those packages
to finish my pending test on "One Time Password".

Could you please shed me some light?  TIA
