I'm not sure how you want to use MaxDB with cyrus-imapd. AFAIK the only way to use MySQL or whatever database is to use it for authentication with cyrus-sasl. So it's more a cyrus-sasl than a cyrus-imapd question. One possible solution to your problem could be to use the MySQL proxy for MaxDB. Unfortunately it's only available in a Alpha release which is not recommended in production. I once tried the MySQL proxy with our current SAPDB/MaxDB servers but it doesn't work because the older SAPDB/MaxDB releases don't have support for the MySQL proxy authentication method.
