Vadim,
You might want to read the notes at:
http://barnson.org/node/view/81
and you might also try using mailutil from the UW Pine
distribution; I'm not sure if it handles maildir style
inputs, but it's pretty robust, so if it does, it's worth
trying.
Also, Cyrus is certainly better at handling large
mailboxes than most everything else out there, but 32MB of
RAM might not be enough for it.
As a side note, what are the lower limits of memory/CPU
that people have run the Cyrus IMAP server on?
Good luck.
