That is what I am heading towards. The more I get into this project the 
more things I have to learn. I was just setting it up one step at a 
time, first get postfix running, get maildir format. I have now 
installed cyrus and can seem to connect to the server via imap and send 
fine, but the folders I created for the imap user do not show.

Next up is to work on managing user lists and authentication. I have 
heard a lot about using Cyrus SASL and kerberos for authentication. 
Anyone have any good links on where I should be going from here.
