Most of the noise about CyrusImapd being complex to setup and manage is 
legacy FUD. Its not harder or easier to setup than most comparable 
systems. Have you ever tried to get a server side fulltext index going 
on dovecot ? Compare that with the effort that goes into getting cyrus 
imapd doing the same job.

Dont get me wrong, dovecot isnt bad. Its just not there yet, maybe 
another few years if they retain the sort of traction they have at the 
moment.

Leaving Cyrus out just seems silly.
