No, cyrus has its own directory structure. You should not access this mails on a othe way than imap.

It has a pop(s) and imap(s) server buildin and it can do a sort of virtual hosting, but that is the job of the mta. cyrus is not a mta, it is a mail storage system. cyrus can authenticate against ldap, mysql and other stuff via sasl (and pam if you like). the user cann generated automatically (in newer versions only). > > For myself I don't use ldap yet but I can see the need for it in a large > setting were samba is set to use ldap also.
