you must have been sound asleep through all of the discussion where he
is using cyrus-imapd which doesn't do maildir, uses it's own method of
delivery (not procmail), it's own filtering (sieve) and doesn't do home
folders and thus your comments - though well intended have already been
considered to be not germane to his setup.
