== Description ==

The Cyrus IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) server provides access to  personal mail and system-wide bulletin boards through the IMAP protocol.  The Cyrus IMAP server is a scaleable enterprise mail system designed for use  from small to large enterprise environments using standards-based  technologies.  A full Cyrus IMAP implementation allows a seamless mail and bulletin board  environment to be set up across multiple servers.  It differs from other  IMAP server implementations in that it is run on "sealed" servers, where  users are not normally permitted to log in.  The mailbox database is stored  in parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP system.  All  user access to mail is through software using the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP  protocols.  The private mailbox database design gives the server large advantages in  efficiency, scalability, and administratability.  Multiple concurrent  read/write connections to the same mailbox are permitted.  The server  supports access control lists on mailboxes and storage quotas on mailbox  hierarchies.
