logging

[Johan Barelds]

I agree.
It know that it isn't a critical feature but it would make life much easier if 
something is there in /var/log/ that collects everything what's going on with 
cyrus-imap and the mailboxes.

That way it would also be more compliant with the way other services do 
logging.

I would be very happy if you would consider it.
B.t.w. don't get me wrong: i like the cyrus-imap already the way it is...:-)
