Well, as far as I've found, a user should be able to pop from a 
subfolder using a login in the form 'user+folder'. Even in Cyrus POP, 
but I haven't been able to verify it since my saslauthd won't let the 
user in...

If I telnet to the daemon, I get this:

Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK iris Cyrus POP3 v2.1.15 server ready <3897138353.1157646393 at iris>
user nb0003+folder
+OK Name is a valid mailbox
pass <not shown>
-ERR [AUTH] Invalid login

user nb0003
+OK Name is a valid mailbox
pass <not shown>
+OK Maildrop locked and ready

So, the Cyrus POP daemon correctly finds the mailbox, but saslauthd 
cannot verify the user.  Is there a way to recofigure it so it'll work?
