Then obviously you haven't digged very much in www.dbmail.org or into
the README
and INSTALL files of the .tar.gz...

Cyrus provides a network-enabled mailbox storage and management system, with
IMAP
and POP interfaces. Its has its own storage back'end based on the raw UNIX
filesystem with indexing additions, and has a complete management interface
for all that. It's a quite big beast, and isn't easy to manage and install.
