I'm not very experience with Cyrus, but I did mess around with it a |
| 23 |
little. I'm pretty sure that things will be pretty different, since |
| 24 |
Cyrus doesn't use ordinary *nix accounts or common mailbox formats. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Cyrus is specifically designed to serve mail for a large number of users |
| 27 |
who don't need shell accounts and can supposedly avoid some of the |
| 28 |
overhead and security issues associated with giving hundreds or |
| 29 |
thousands of users accounts on a machine. I've never installed an IMAP |
| 30 |
server for anyone but myself, so I have no idea how scalable the |
| 31 |
different servers are. I'm now using Courier, since I like the |
| 32 |
simplicity of maildirs. |
