Cyrus does not support master-master replication. Because of
CONDSTORE (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4551) Cyrus is able
to handle messages on a master-master setup, but the information
about folder operations is not tracked and so cyrus is unable to
distinguish is a folder was subscribed on one server, or if a folder
was unsubscribed on the other. Same is true for folder
creation/rename/deletion

The master-master replication is a wanted feature but even the 3.0.x
does not support it. I am not sure about the upcoming 3.1.x or master
branch.
