Bingo!... That's a reason why I avoided 'Cyrus' like plague, and why I moved to dovecot... Dovecot is much better about handling multiple accesses. Dovecot IS configurable to use 'Cyrus' format if someone *wants* that format (i.e. moving from Cyrus).
I'm still working on this mail server, but I've been busy with other things at work, so it's a "priority" low priority item. ;-) However, I find the documentation to be a bit vague and fragmented, so Dovecot appears to be more difficult to set up than UoW, which I had no problem at all with. I would agree, I found the Dovecot documentation to be lacking, but found the configuration relatively easy after installing it and poking around it's config files, which were broken down by subfunction in my /etc/dovecot dir (on suse...not all break them down, I understand):
