You'll need to make sure Cyrus imapd is set up correctly first. 
Somewhere in your cyrus.conf file, there should be a line something like 
this:

   lmtpunix      cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0

The path will probably be different on your system.



That's the socket that Cyrus's lmtp listens on.  Remember that path, and 
then edit your Postfix main.cf file:

- Comment out the home_mailbox line

#home_mailbox = Maildir/


- Find the mailbox_transport and local_transport lines, uncomment them, 
and set them to the same path as the lmtpunix path listed in cyrus.conf

mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp
local_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp
