Thank you Andrei
Updated my system yesterday from 15.2 to 15.3. Basically the update went just fine, buuuut all cyrus-imapd binaries are gone!!! Thought I've read the release notes and understood under Point: 3.2.1 Berkeley DB removed from packages So, is in SUSE Terms cyrus-sasl = cyrus-imapd. If so, bad luck for me and I'm sorry for my ignorance. If not, wasn't it worth spend one sentence in the release note that cyrus-imapd will be removed as well?
Open bug report. This is done. http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1192180
And even better all cyrus-sasl thingy's are still available/installed on my system. And yes there are still people out using openSUSE as a mailserver WITH cyrus.
Then someone should step up as maintainer. Cyrus-imapd was removed from Factory/Tumbleweed two years ago because it failed to build.
# osc log -D openSUSE:Factory cyrus-imapd

In the meantime you may probably install it from
took the rpms from the 15.2 repo as standalone download. it works so fa. hopefully cyrus stay on the system next time i zypper up/dup.

(at least, build status is OK for Leap 15.3).
Second question i have. Is it save to use the "sle" repostitories showing up after the updates since I have no intention to make a sles server out of my openSUSE.
Leap 15.3 is mostly reusing SLE binaries, so it is not only "safe", it is "necessary" (or even "mandatory") to get updates. got it. was just confused about the naming.
