NAME

imapd.conf - IMAP configuration file

DESCRIPTION

/etc/imapd.conf is the configuration file for the Cyrus IMAP server. It defines local parameters for IMAP.

Each line of the /etc/imapd.conf file has the form

option: value

where option is the name of the configuration option being set and value is the value that the configuration option is being set to.

Although there is no limit to the length of a line, a ``\'' (backslash) character may be used as the last character on a line to force it to continue on the next one. No additional whitespace is inserted before or after the ``\''. Note that a line that is split using ``\'' character(s) is still considered a single line. For example

option:\

value1 value2 \

value3

is equivalent to

option: value1 value2 value3

Blank lines and lines beginning with ``#'' are ignored.

For boolean and enumerated options, the values ``yes'', ``on'', ``t'', ``true'' and ``1'' turn the option on, the values ``no'', ``off'', ``f'', ``false'' and ``0'' turn the option off.

FIELD DESCRIPTIONS

The sections below detail options that can be placed in the /etc/imapd.conf file, and show each option's default value. Some options have no default value, these are listed with ``<no default>''. Some options default to the empty string, these are listed with ``<none>''.
