Dovecot will work with the system inbox (or you can configure it to use maildir format instead), but Cyrus uses its own storage area and needs a special setup and delivery agent.
Les, that doesn't apply to using the Cyrus as a pop server does it? Assume it just reads from the users mail spool ?
No, Cyrus-IMAPd uses its own mail storage, whether offered by POP3 or IMAP. It is very different to other mail access servers in this regard (and thus a point of critic by some people).
Please read its documentation or you get unhappy very quickly. Said that I see the nice and helpful mail by Aleksandar - but it does not exchange to read through the docs to have a complete understanding.
