The "in some way" is the questionable part of that. While it's true that
Cyrus doesn't care what kinds of files are stored in mailboxes, the
Insight Connector doesn't work on its own. According to Bynari's
literature, it requires the Bynari Insight Server, which is not
simply Linux with Cyrus installed, but a whole collection of stuff:
Postfix, Cyrus, LDAP, Apache, ProFTPd, and a huge web-based
application written by Bynari. Without that, Insight Connector won't
work.

And there's nothing in Bynari's product info that indicates that the
Insight Server stores the calendar info in Cyrus. I highly doubt that
it does. Open Exchange, for instance, stores all that kind of
info in an SQL database (normally PostgreSQL), which is a much more 
logical choice. I suspect Insight Server does the same.
