According to the log, the script tries to create a user named '@'. That's, well, weird. Unfortunately, I'm not sufficiently familiar with the pykolab codebase to make a qualified guess where this username may have originated from.

What I can tell is that the return-value handling for imap.user_mailbox_create() smells fishy. ldap._change_none_user() calls imap.user_mailbox_create() and passes its return value as argument to imap.user_mailbox_server(). It expects that value to be of type str, but imap.user_mailbox_create() may return the bool value False on error! That type mixup is why the whole script goes down in flames.

D3692 and D3710 should fix this
I ran into same error, when testing for Python 3

imap.user_mailbox_create() always returns a string, so this should be fine. Is there a command-line way to reproduce this issue?

@mollekopf, imap.user_mailbox_create() returns False on error.

Seems to be fixed by D3692 and rPbd3a9e74745461089d7afc4e51a39c21958907bf.
