Once you've used cyrus, you'd never go back to uw-imap or dovecot

Each e-mail is stored as a separate file, not a nasty single mbox file
that gets large.

Note that the competitors can use maildir, so this isn't a Cyrus-only feature.

But AFAIK this comes at a storage penalty: Many small files will waste space approximately equal to half the storage allocation unit times the number of files. Or is there a way to mitigate this on ext3? (I don't want to go to Reiser.)
