i have it running, but i used the rpms from simon matter. those are source
rpms, you have to rpmbuild -- rebuild it. but its no problem at all with
the databases.

you get  cyrus-imapd-2.1.16-6.src.rpm here:
http://www.invoca.ch/pub/packages/cyrus-imapd/

takes half an hour to rebuild, you will get 5-6 rpms to install
afterwards. Don't forget to give the cyrus-user a password, you will need
this for the cyradm afterwards.
