I would also like to point out that you had either a bad config or lack 
of understanding about any system. We've been over this issue of which 
imap and how and where - on this list, previously. I recommend you go 
back and read those posts.

And Feizhou, who seems to be towing your line, has already admitted he 
has no idea about Cyrus and has never used it.

And anyway, i dont understand the logic behind 'Courier is easier than a 
yum install cyrusimapd'. Specially since Courier is neither in the 
distro, nor provided by any stable maintained repository for EL4. So you 
are pretty much on your own 'aka LFS style'. Maybe on a different distro 
the story would be different - but on CentOS, I dont think so.
