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.

SYNOPSIS
smmapd [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ]

SMMAPD is a Sendmail socket map daemon which is used to verify that a Cyrus mailbox exists, that it is postable and it is under quota. It
accepts commands on its standard input and responds on its standard output. It MUST be invoked by cyrmaster(8) with those descriptors
attached to a remote client connection.
SMMAPD reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
