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. |
