It can also be used to configure the Mulberry MUA, plus Mulberry can
use the ACAP server to store user address books and such.

Cyrusoft seems to do a lot of business with educational institutions,
and ACAP would help a lot in that environment.

LDAP may be a better bet since it can be bent to provide much the same
functionality and there is far more development and support of LDAP
than ACAP or IMSP.
