But I seem to remember that their indexes had an achilles heal. If you (re)moved an email file via filesystem then the indexes were badly corrupted and there was little you could do with that mail directory again. I don't think that this is proper behaviour for imap servers under a unix environment.
thats why normally a user cant access the maildirs directly. so this isnt a case which should happen often. but i agree the failure handling needs some work for that case. :)
thats one of the points i hate about cyrus. you cant access it locally direct. only via imap/pop.
and about the mentioned procmail: you have sieve ... and i like the syntax of it more than the one from procmail. thats why i use maildrop atm.
