At the end I tried
$ cat message.eml | /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -a fdg -m user.fdg.Own
and
$ cat message.eml | /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -a fdg \
-m user.fdg.Own@localhost
which works without an error message and is putting the mail into the
specified folder.
Before, I tried, as user fdg,
$ cat message.eml | /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -a fdg -m localhost fdg
which works without an error message and is putting the mail into the
inbox of user fdg.
When I tried
$ cat message.eml | /usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -a fdg \
-m localhost fdg.Own
it works without an error message but the mail doesn't show up in the
folder user.fdg.Own.
I've seen the latter "syntax" in some examples and seem to be a little
stupid, because in the man page for deliver(8) the first mentioned
"syntax" sceme is described, but I couldn't get it to work at first
place. Sorry for bothering. (Some examples probably would have helped.)

Now that you ask ...
I'm using the "updated" package from SuSE 7.3, so perhaps the fragment
of the man page for deliver(8) shown below is only "damaged" in this
package.

To me this seems, as mentioned above, somehow incomplete.
But probably, if this isn't SuSE's fault, this is fixed in 2.1.13 by now.
Bye
