Inclusion of cyrus-imapd and mimedefang (plus webmail)

[Angles Puglisi]

If you'll give it consideration I could rip AngleMail out of
phpGroupWare into a standalone webmail.
(I'd do it for the fame of the few people who know me ...)

www.anglemail.org

there is a demo of an older version at:
https://demo.axisgroupware.org:4430/login.php

check out the email part of the demo.
