Well, the old Mailserver was running on Suse and I'd love to continue to 
do that, HOWEVER, there was no way to install cyrus from a repository 
(also not found under software.opensuse.org). It seems to be included in 
the Pro/Paid versions, but not in tumbleweed/leap anymore.

Yes, I will look into this. Thank you.

It cannot even access them. With Cyrus 2.4/2.5 it worked well, but no 
just nothing, nada, empty.

Accessible for all (needed to be sure that there are no ACL in the way). 
Still have to roll that back to the real access right but handling with 
on the CLI with cyradm is rather painful.

Yes, I can access it via Telnet without problem.

Probably nothing. As an unfrequent admin that operates the mail server 
in the background of a SME with a couple of dozend users, it is 
difficult to use the man page as it likely means that looking up every 
time for a new user the commands. Also, a number of needed steps are not 
shows, e.g. Saslpasswd2, local user account etc. without any creation 
with cyradm does not work (here).

It might be fine for a larger setup/university/company that has 
ressources to setup suitable scripts here, but on the typical "I love 
yast of Suse"-level it is kind of... let's keep it at difficult for the 
connoisseur. I will check all you remarks about 3rd party software that 
may make my life easier.

Thankn you for your help.

Cheers
