    Of course. Cyrus IMAP could not handle Maildir, it has it's own storage.
    You have to deliver the Mails over lmtp or maybe "deliver" to the
    cyrus-server.

    If you really want to use Maildir, you have to change to another
    IMAP-Server. I think Courier is the first choice, but don't flame me. If
    you want Cyrus, set it up like the suse-docs.
