Just to make it clear, with Cyrus you have to explicitly create with
cyradm each account that receives mail. If you just create the Unix
account, it will not receive mail!

That's because Cyrus does not care about the Unix user database, it uses
its own. It's just an artifact of the default setup with FC2 that
authentication is performed against the Unix user database, Cyrus can be
(and usually is) totally independent of it.
