Hi Lennie,

now I found e very very simple solution for this problem:

1. Connetct to the RaQ as "admin" and switch to root with "su".

2. Go to "/usr/sbin/"

3. Add the User "Active_Monitor_69" with "useradd" (./useradd
Active_Monitor_69)

4. Give him the passsword "blah" (you can watch the password in the file
/etc/cobalt/swatch/services/imap)
   (passwd Active_Monitor_69)

5. Im not sure, if you have to reload initd (killall -HUP inetd)

After that, it will work without problems
