I don't think that'll work. The resource handler script is a postfix 
content filter and knows nothing about IMAP -- unless I let it act as 
an IMAP client that stores messages in some folder for the user. This 
means that the mail is not delivered to Cyrus over the normal channel 
(LMTP), so 

1) The content filter needs write access to the user's folder(s)
2) Sieve scripts for incoming mail will not be run
3) Flags will probably look funny.
