Cyrus is a nice player in the field (still run it myself on some hosts),
but it has some major drawbacks:
- - proprietary mail storage mechanism (compared to MailDir/mbox et al.)
- - slower than Dovecot, e.g.
- - compared to other pop/imap servers, it does not implement RFCs as good
as others (Dovecot is very good here, too)
