Cyrus imapd provides IMAP, POP3 and KPOP services for mail. It differs from other IMAP servers by providing a "sealed" server where users do not normally login directly to the server. The mailbox database is private to the Cyrus IMAP system. Cyrus also provides server side mail filtering using sieve (see RFC 3028)

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is an Internet standards-track
|
|
protocol for accessing messages (mail, bboards, news, etc). The Cyrus
|
|
IMAP server differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it
|
|
is generally intended to be run on "sealed" servers, where normal users
|
|
are not 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 the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols.
