as others replied only user/pw are in the db, and it is even worse, the mailbox folder list lives in a cyrus specific file, that can be dumped, and should be dumped if you ever plan on migrating a cyrus installation to another db backend for this file (I use flatfile, but also berkeley db is advisable if the installation gets too large, b/c cyrus would spend too much time searching for the filesystem location of the folder when asked for a specific folder. In case you haven't dealt much with virtual users, don't try the cyrus +pam_mysql solution first. just to give you a short rundown what has to work in such a setup: the webinterface creates a user in the db, then calls cyradm and creates the folder for the user (in cyrus, not in the filesystem) assigns correct imap permissions, then creates the email address and the correct "emailrouting" between postfix and cyrus. and just about the hardware again: I read my inbox (14219 messages, 5261 unread as of this morning) via courier-imap (no vusers) as the rest of my family (about 15 accounts) of a K6-400Mhz, 384MB RAM, RAID1 (one drive already dead) running TSL2.2, and it is a bit slow, since the low page impressions websystem takes too much resources. When migration is done to the new athlon xp2000 it might be faster getting emails in the morning.
