Oh, and I forgot that Apple's OS X Server comes with Cyrus for the 
IMAP/POP service.

If folks are interested in seeing an update, I would recommend sending 
such requests to O'Reilly. They certainly won't approve an update if 
there's no indication of demand.

Of course if an update is approved, it would be sad if it came out and 
then immediately afterwards 2.3 was released, but then I guess that's 
life in the software world.
