Forget about the virtual maildir stuff in postfix, cyrus doesn't use maildir but has it's own message store and works more like database than like a fileserver application - you never access any files directly. What you want is using LMTP as mail delivery protocol which you configure something like mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp It's that easy, no more messing with directories or uids.
