Lots of configuration is necessary for cyrus-imapd. Dovecot much easier.

The payoff is cyrus is a high performance monster. Dovecot is simple
minded - much more like uw-imapd

Cyrus has a mail list and web site and I strongly suggest that you use
those resources for help. Cyrus uses cyrus-sasl for authentication which
also must be configured.

man cyrus-sasl
man imapd.conf
