Just to point out something that isn't clear from your (otherwise
excellent) response:
Using dovecot-sasl does *not* require you to also use the dovecot IMAP
server. You could use any other IMAP server, and still use dovecot-sasl
for a much simplified sasl setup (at least as opposed to cyrus-sasl).
But that said, dovecot being the best IMAP server out there bar none -
yes, Cyrus is more mature, and still has some features that dovecot
lacks, but the latter is only temporary, as dovecot is quickly catching
up and will soon *surpass* cyrus' feature set.
