- POP3/IMAP mailbox access uses LDAP as the password store through SASL. Key configuration parameters
- are also stored in LDAP and automatically applied to configuration files after a change occurs. When
- you create a new user in LDAP, the Cyrus mailbox is automatically generated for you.

- <td>Cyrus provides IMAP as well as POP3 access to user mailboxes. It supports key features such as
- ACL (Access Control Lists) that allows more than one user to share mailboxes and folders and supports
- the Sieve mail processing language, this allows Auto Actions such as Auto-Forward and Auto-Reply on
- mailboxes. Cyrus is also highly scalable.<br>

- groupware functionality.
