You don't need a Cyrus or Dovecot IMAP server. Mail storage does not
need to change. Don't confuse Cyrus SASL with Cyrus IMAP.
Likewise, don't confuse the dovecot authentication service with Dovecot
IMAP. You don't have to make use of the IMAP mailboxes in order to make
use of dovecot auth. But, you likely to have to install the dovecot
IMAP software and leave most of it dormant.

Cyrus SASL is a bunch of shared libraries and config files, no need for
an IMAP server.
