Of course you can use it. It's not the best IMAP client in the world (I 
would rather use (and support) Mozilla/Thunderbird ;-) or, ok, maybe 
even rather Outlook Express then Outlook because of its IMAP support), 
but it surely works. Just set up an IMAP account with the correct 
account info & credentials.

P.S. If authentication fails against the Cyrus server you should 
probably tune your sasl_mech_list to something like "PLAIN LOGIN" 
depending on your backend ofcourse.
