And because I was a smartass in my first reply, here's a link and a
snippet.

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Cyrus-IMAP-2.html#ss2.3 says:

2.3 Cyrus IMAP vs. Washington IMAP

Cyrus has its own mailbox database which is standalone and increases
performance, whereas Washington uses the stanard UNIX mailbox format,
which was designed for a smaller set of users. Washington is portable to
more UNIX and non-UNIX systems than Cyrus. The main difference is that
with Cyrus, you don't have to add new users to your linux box (i.e. in
/etc/passwd) to add new mail users, and with Washington, you do.
