The mail is stored in a K6-2/300MHz running Cyrus IMAPD 2.0.17 on NetBSD
1.6. The client is a dual Pentium III running FreeBSD 5.0-RC. Since
Cyrus has its own way of storing mail, there's no such thing a direct
access.

Is that through IMAP or direct? I guess that's direct mbox access.

I once thought about using Maildir too, but when it came time to switch
to IMAP, I tried Cyrus first (my other choice was Courier), and since it
works so well, never looked back.

        Of course it runs NetBSD!
