These settings are in /etc/imapd.conf already.

I don't really know what I'm using. It's the default SuSE config.
Franky, I just want to use which ever method is easiest. I only have 15 
users.

Eventualy I'd like to use OpenLDAP for my user DB and auth against that. I 
just haven't worked much on setting it up yet.

I've always just used passwd, uw-imap, and sendmail. I think LDAP, cyrus, 
Postfix is a better combination but I didn't realize how much more you 
have to configure! I'd like to be able to add a user to which ever user db 
I'm using and have mail automaticaly setup for them. Is this possible? 
With cyrus will I have to manually create a mailbox for every new user I 
create?

/etc/sysconfig is like this already.
