I have done it that way in the past and that's not a problem. I
definitely see the value of using IMAP authentication for IMP because of
cyrus and quota's etc.

I'm not certain that I need to have cyrus IMAP authenticate everyone for
all applications but that may need to be the case. It's something that
I'm playing with because of my new use of cyrus-imapd and elevation of
using LDAP and of course, the new version of horde/imp etc.
