+The Cyrus IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) server provides access to
+personal mail and system-wide bulletin boards through the IMAP protocol. 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
