I have a cyrus-imapd to admin (with mysql, postfix) and .. the thing i
can say is: in the next 3 month, I will install courier to kick this
... of . (there is 500 accounts on this server)
Cyrus is very hard to install/configure/manage.

Maybe; the problem with cyrus is when you use it with mysql and postfix
.. you need to recompile so many stuff , and more you
modify your distrib, more it's hard to apply security updates.
Courier-imap is, when you compare, far easy to configure.
