I'm using Cyrus IMAPD as IMAP backend for my Horde/IMP installation. 
Cyrus has its own userbase so you don't need to create UNIX users for 
all the mail users. I guess that's what vm-pop3d means by 'virtual 
mailboxes'.

It's been working mostly fine since 2001. Only thing to watch out for 
is upgrades of the db3 package if you use sasldb authentication (one of 
many possible authentication methods in Cyrus). I've been bitten a 
couple of times when db3 got portupgraded as a dependency of 
'something' and Cyrus was unable to read it's authentication database 
which was created with previous version of db3.
