So any IMAP server will do. Any particular reason to pick Cyrus ?

I've been using dovecot for quite a while now and I'm pretty happy with
it. Marcus Rueckert (aka darix) has been providing high quality RPMs of
dovecot since a while now:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/server:/mail/
(there are cyrus-imapd packages there as well)

Personally, I've been using a few IMAP servers in the past (Cyrus,
Courier and dovecot). Not to start a flamewar, and Cyrus certainly has
its supporters but I've found Courier to be extremely good though a
little tedious to install, start/stop and such (the Courier suite has a
performant and modular but somewhat unfriendly architecture).
dovecot is very fast and easy to set up (and it's said to be the most
secure).

Yes, I think you should really have a look at dovecot.
