I think we have two different cases to consider:
1. Experienced users, running a cyrus installation for several months/years.
Here I see no "danger" that they switch over to another imap
project, unless
that project provides better "overall experience" for the them.
Running cyrus since ~8 years now, we don't intend to switch to
another project.
2. Newbies, which do not know cyrus, they just ask for advice and a
simple starter
experience with the imap server.
In the last month there has been much posts of type "Dovecot is the
greates/simples/best/etc. "
So the new users are very likely to go to dovecot instead of cyrus,
because of "advices"
from other internet users.
So I think we should take care, that cyrus is not loosing new users,
because the
userbase will shrink over the years, compared to dovecot.
One important thing is the documentation of the imap server,
and there cyrus could offer more.... (Just my opinion)
Also the SASL stuff is not first-user friendly (But very powerfull when
understood)
So helping new users in this area would probably also help for getting
cyrus "recommendations" for new users.
