My configuration here is:
I have a Mailserver running on my laptop. So i can use different 
mailclients to see my emails. (It's an Imap-server). So fetchmail is 
running on my machine to fetch mails from all my mail-accounts. Also for 
the other Users on this machine.

I know that point. I have to do this individually. But i like a solution 
which detects and run this automatically...
Maybe it's a good solution to connect this to some script, which adds 
and removes users... Ok. Thanks for this hint. I'll think about it. 
Because i have to add new users to cyrus at all an sasldb...
