[rhelv6-beta-list] cyrus-imapd - missing or unsupported in RHEL6?

[Georger Araujo]

Open source is all about choice! It's a good thing to have more than one
option: ext4 or XFS, Gnome or KDE, PostgreSQL or MySQL, Postfix or qmail...
Cyrus IMAP is the IMAP server of choice for eGroupWare [1], a popular
groupware suite in Germany. It's also the IMAP server of choice for Expresso
Livre [2], a groupware suite that is beginning to gain serious momentum in
Brazil. Not a surprise, since Expresso Livre is a fork of eGroupWare.
Also, SLES ships it. People migrating from SLES+Cyrus to RHEL+Dovecot have
more work to do - IMAP server migration can be a real pain depending on how
many servers and mailboxes you have.
