High-Availability IMAP server

[Patrick Radtke]

We are running the replication code in production at Columbia.

We made great use of it Monday morning when one of our backend  
machines failed.
Switching to the replica was quite simple and relatively fast (maybe  
5 to 10 minutes from deciding to switch to the replica before replica  
was fully in action)

I consider the code to stable, though on occasion strange things  
happen (e.g. when user renames user.INBOX to user.saved.INBOX) and  
you have to restart the replication process (no downtime to Cyrus  
involved).
