Re: [was Re: [OT] Outlook Express: altnamespace issue]
MessagingDirect is now ACI Worldwide. The continued direction of their IMAP server is the Sendmail Advanced Message Server (SAMS). There are utilities to migrate/upgrade Simeon 1.x, 2.x, and Mstore 3.x to SAMS 1.x (which is based on Mstore 3.x). If you are not moving forward with the product line, then you may be better off doing a protocol migration over IMAP to preserve the flags.

Out of interest what are the commercial variants of cyrus ? The only one I think I know of is some Canadian company of which the name escapes me. The only one that I know of for sure is Messaging Direct's M-Store. This is probably the one that you are thinking of -- they are based in Edmonton. Larry or Walter may know of others.
