Hi!
Noob question, I have very little experience with Cyrus and may have misunderstood everything. I have a problem with Cyrus losing messages (or I have misunderstood the log). The following three messages was simply lost. The common thing is that none of them have any message id set, I have checked my Exim log and the id's are missing at arrival.
As noted by soemone else more versed in Exim you need to reconfigure Exim so it does the right thing and adds message-id's. Furthermore IMAP clients may not be able to locate a message without a message-id, nor a message with a non-unique message ID -- depending on how the IMAP Client chooses to access the folders. Cyrus is capable of storing duplicates, but by default does duplicate delivery suppression (a good thing, really).
The only time you may run into problems are situations like these, with broken MTAs or MUAs. It's better now, Outlook/Microsoft OLE stuff at one time would only generate one message ID per day or per boot -- I never really figured out which. I discovered that one by accident while using UW-IMAP back in the day. There were also atleast two other broken Windows MUAs and probably 2 or 3 Unix ones. They all seem gone now though, thankfully.
