+IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is an Internet standards-track
+protocol for accessing messages (mail, bboards, news, etc). The Cyrus
+IMAP server differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it
+is generally intended to be run on "sealed" servers, where normal users
+are not permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in parts of
+the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP system. All user
+access to mail is through the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols.
