OK.

Sounds like postfix isn't sending mail to cyrus correctly. Check
/etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/master.cf

main.cf should have something where it says the delivery agent is e.g.
cyrus, and cyrus itself is defined in master.cf.

Google.. I know I've come across good postfix+cyrus howtos in the past,
although they all tend to contain small errors or be a little out of date.

I'd say - go for cyrus. With it you can keep mail out of /home, use e.g.
ldap (or anything) for authentication (so you can have a seperate user
password from a mail password etc, or not give mail users shell accounts
etc etc)

| Postfix as the MTA works great and I can send mail

Erm. Not sure why that would be. Make sure Horde is configured for
IMAP/Cyrus... the settings are visible if you're logged in as an admin
that horde recognises.... we've been using horde 3.0 alpha for some time
now and it's been flawless... not sure what is in debian to be honest.

| Any help is appreciated.

If you're still having problems, hassle me tomorrow.. we've got a couple
of systems running horde/cyrus/postfix which could be used to give you
sample config stuff...

David.
