Have you tried FastMail? They use Cyrus...
> you have to write your own mail server
... but I concede they (FastMail) do sponsor most of Cyrus's development.
- brongondwana 9y agoWe patched Cyrus extensively to provide the cross-folder searching stuff and other non-standard stuff we needed to make our interface fast. It's all in the upstream project now (and in the 3.0 release), so anyone can use it. No standard IMAP client will speak it of course, and we strongly discourage it. We'd prefer people use JMAP, which is documented and working towards becoming a standard. It's also in 3.0 :)
