Sendmail, Cyrus, Dovecot

I've been using Sendmail for several months - no problem. Shortly, a need appeared to provide remote access to mail - POP3/IMAP. I worked a little with Dovecot, and there was some success, than I read that Cyrus is cooler or so, like better for production sites because it makes links and not copies of mass mails etc, tried to migrate to it - nothing. I thought that was a problem with my Sendmail configuration. I've downloaded a lot of info, read th op.pdf for Sednamil to the half, also some mans, now I installed Dovecot again - just for a try if it will work - it worked from the first moment, perfectly (almost). After I edited its conf and added pop3, it worked just perfectly, at all. Question: what's the problem about Cyrus? Why does Dovecot work and Cyrus does not? And what do I have to do to make Cyrus also work perfectly like Dovecot already does?
OS: Debian GNU/Linux
Thanks in advance.
