When I was looking at IMAP servers there were two things which basically
put me off Cyrus (with respect to what I wanted it for):

1. It differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it is run on
   "sealed" servers, where users are not normally permitted to log in.
   (Direct quote from one of their web pages.)

2. It doesn't work with Berkeley mailbox format.

That said, it does have a lot greater focus on security than the UW server
appears to have...

The only other non-commercial imap server I know of is Courier (see
http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/). But again, this doesn't handle
the Berkeley mailbox format but wants things in Maildir mailboxes. Also,
its not in the Ports collection.
