One of the primary reasons I stick with cyrus is the good fuzzy feeling
I get from the fact that each email is stored in one file (folders are
... surprise ... directories) with index files that can be rebuilt from
the source files.  Combine this with ZFS for a nearly invulnerable mail
server.

Cyrus is also in new hands with new developers.  They have weekly public
IRC chats on various issues.  Very active.

If you have people who actually use webmail, my experience is that they
will rave about an upgrade to roundcube over squirrelmail.
