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 |
