Managing IMAP compares Cyrus with UWash, not Courier.

Paul : I'm using Exim with UWash at work (delivering via tmail to mbx
mailboxes) and Courier at home using native maildir delivery. I've
tried Cyrus but didn't get very far with it. The configuration changes
needed to make them work with Exim are fairly minimal and are documented
in the spec and faq. If you want the exact config to get your started,
or my opinions on the IMAP servers mail directly.
