Soren,

I'm in the process of implemented OpenGroupware now.  OGO uses cyrus
imap server (preferred, but another will work), along with an smtp
server to integrate with their groupware server.  You have to install
and configure cyrus and your smtp server to get OGO to work.

I'd strongly recommend against trying to skip the cyrus imap learning
curve.  It can be tough, but this list rocks--they've answered all my
questions so far!

As far as installing cyrus, if you have an imapd daemon running then I
would say it's intalled.  I would still read the cyrus imap documents
regardless though--they cover a LOT of useful information including how
to test and set up an installed application (imtest, etc) regardless of
whether it's rpm or source.  If you can't find it on your computer, just
go to the website (http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/download/imapd/).

Hope this Helps,
