Thanks to both Simon and Derrick - I might have learned a bunch of stuff
in the process.

I did follow Simon's recommendation and downloaded 2.2.12-1 from Simon's
site but on a different RHEL 3 system that I operate. Had to install
cyrus-devel, bison, autoconf and flex...and installed the src rpm.

Did rpmbuild -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/cyrus-imap.spec

then copied the resulting rpms to my system - removed the installed rpms
(2.2.10) and then installed these rpm's

the proof was in the pudding...
# su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/quota -f'

Something I had never been able to do...

Thanks guys - you were awesome and taught me a bunch on the way.
