+1 The shipped packages on most distributions are a bit lame;  Simon's
packages are the way to go.  They also provision everything as Skiplist
[Cyrus' preferred DB format] avoiding the ugliness that is Berkley DB
[issue with which Cyrus has take a fair amount of the blame; most
'corrupt Cyrus databases' are corrupt BDB databases].

Delayed expunge, message expiration, full-text indexing, mod-sequence
support, etc...  Cyrus' feature set is very robust.
