One thing to note here, and I've never looked into dovecot, so maybe its 
similar, but cyrus-imapd is a black-box mail spool ... mailbox != password 
entry, and the mail spool is *only* accessible through imap/pop3, no 
"local mail" ... it was designed to handle systems where needing >65536 
mailboxes was a requirement, as well as security ...
