...i try to help as far as i can here:

IDLED - as the name suggests - provides IMAP IDLE by an own process (at least 
earlier cyrus versions was able to to this without IDLED too, but not so 
"live" and more inefficient by "poll" instead of a own/dedicated process).

NOTIFYD is for "MAIL" notifications from cyrus which are disabled in case of 
no notifyd available afaik. I assume this i.e. provides "email send" 
infrastructure for i.e. SIEVE (i.e. notify rules). IF you doenst use SIEVE 
(SIEVE notify) you did not need notifyd so far (even if SIEVE offers very 
interesting features in many scenarios).


hth a bit,
cheerioh,


Niels.
