Squirrelmail with Cyrus

Usually, there is nothing special. Just configure SquirrelMail to point 
to your Cyrus IMAPd server (using localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the server 
if it lives on the same machine) and there you go.

The longer answer:

There is a number of different mechanisms which an IMAP client 
(SquirrelMail in your case) and the IMAP server (Cyrus IMAPd) can use to 
exchange authentication credentials. Usually this is negotiated between 
the client and the server automatically.

There are secure and less secure mechanism though, but this matters 
primarily on connections over public networks. Is that an Intranet or 
Internet setup? Will all your users only use SquirrelMail or will you 
have to support users as well which will use other MUA (Mail User 
Agents) such as Thunderbird oder Outlook for example?

Regards,
Torsten
