WU-IMAP.
You can't do that with Cyrus: it stores its email in its own mail
database (maildir-like folders). Only WU, AFAIK, can serve mbox files
direct from /var/spool/mail. With Cyrus, your users will have to use
all IMAP, all the time. This can be through a web-based interface, a
GUI client or mutt/pine running in IMAP mode.
