      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      The default cyrus-imapd configuration has the idled line commented out:

      #  idled         cmd="idled" 

      This causes the following error when using IMAP:

      Sep 23 16:51:35 localhost cyrus/imaps[1246972]: IDLE: error sending message INIT to idled for mailbox username: No such file or directory. Falling back to polling every 60 seconds. 

       

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      A default cyrus-imapd configuration will cause errors whenever clients connect and want to use IDLE.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      cyrus-imapd-3.4.1-11.el9.x86_64

      How reproducible is this bug?:

      Every time

      Steps to reproduce

      1. # dnf install -y cyrus-imapd && systemctl start
      1. Have an IMAP client connect and attempt to use IDLE
      2. The following error appears in the logs:
      Sep 23 16:51:35 localhost cyrus/imaps[1246972]: IDLE: error sending message INIT to idled for mailbox username: No such file or directory. Falling back to polling every 60 seconds. 

      Expected results

      There should be no errors on a default configuration in a sane environment.
