Just a side note (simplified):
cyrus-imapd is not a SMTP MTA.
Noted. All right. Thank you for the info.
For User authentication in Cyrus, i would expect to use
Cyrus -> PAM -.> LDAP or ponetially
PAM ? All right. That sounds good actually! I remember fiddling with
those config files in /etc/pam.d (25ish years ago) and as I recall it
was working well. This sounds like a good option. But Google does again
not seem to have any interest in any kind friendship when I ask it for
cyrus-imap pam authentication
<https://www.google.com/search?hl=de&q=cyrus-imap pam
authentication>.There are two
<https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/concepts/features.html#security-and-authentication>
links
<https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/concepts/features.html#security-and-authentication>
to the cyrusimap.org Documentation, where there is basically no info on
it and the 3rd hit, a link to tldp.org, with a PDF HowTo, speaks right
from my heart when it says: "Chapter 4.3 - PAM: Not enough info to
document. Email me if you have some."
Cyrus -> SASL -> GSSAPI -> LDAP
as a typical solution (but never did it byself yet).
Ok, well. I'd rather not do Kerberos. That doesn't seem to make sense
for my tiny setup.

Thanks, but if my understanding is correct, these only work as long as
you store the plain text passwords on the server -- which I am not doing.
