Cyrus is definitely a much more "serious" server, and I do miss the
shared mailboxes.  (We worked around it with Dovecot by creating special
users and giving access to the appropriate people:  All the salespeople
get to access "shsales", for example.)

One thing that is a bit of a pain with Cyrus is that it's very awkward
to use procmail with Cyrus, and Sieve just isn't as flexible as procmail.
