Hello Jopoy,
There are perl modules for interfacing with cyrus-imap. This let's you
put in a script the commands you usually do when you do an interactive
cyradm. You can usually find some of these scripts floating in the
internet that let you rename, delete or add a user that is supplied as
an argument. What I did was work on some of these scripts so that it can
take a text file of users so that they can be added or deleted, or other
useful batchwork.
I don't use mysql or postgresql either for storing the users. Instead I
use the sasl framework's sasldb. That said, I included in my custom
scripts the ability to add and delete the users from sasldb as well.
Anyway, I can mail you the script I found useful to base my custom mail
scripts on. I forgot where I got it in the internet, but at least the
author name is still there.
IMHO I do believe that cyrus is better overall than maildir. You can
google for discussions regarding that.

Hi!
I've been toying around with cyrus-imap recently and I'm quite
impressed by its performance. I just find it to tedious to manage
users, specially on deleting mailboxes by batch.
Is there an easier way to do this? Via a web based administration
tool? I've checked sourceforge and freshmeat and found some apps. But
the thing is they all require the use of mysql or postgresql. Do I
really have to use one of these or are there other apps that I can use
that doesn't need a DB(*sql) backend?
Btw, is cyrus-imap better than maildir (or is it like comparing apples
with oranges ...hehehe)?
Thanks.
