Re: general questions about cyrus

- if there is a way to setup vacation
noticed/automatic reply with cyrus and thunderbird

We use RoundCube web frontend to the Cyrus imapd, and it has a
plugin for creating Sieve scripts, including vacation scripts. It
works very well in my opinion. We also use RoundCube as an
alternative to Thunderbird and Outlook for many users.

https://roundcube.net/ (for Roundcube)
https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/tree/master/plugins/managesieve
(for Managesieve plugin - actively developed) This may actually
come with the base Roundcube distribution.

Enable the plugin in roundcube/config/config.inc.php, in the line
$config['plugins']

If I remember correctly, it worked fairly easily.

You may want to update your sieve_extensions in the imapd.conf file
too, under sieve_extensions. In particular, there are vacation and
vacation-seconds options.

- alternatively having a simple webfrontent
to configure it

Last but not least I am lookkng for an
administration/user admin tool for cyrus (group-e did that well)
and did not find anything aside from cli yet

cyradm works quite well from the command line, and is
Perl-scriptable (although the docs on the scripting are not
particularly clear).

I haven't tried this GUI: https://admin4.org/ It claims to work
with Cyrus IMAPd and others, and seems to be reasonably fresh and
actively developed.
