I'm not sure exactly what MH is, but I know the Cyrus mail store is similar to
Maildir and could even be used as a Maildir if you wanted, but you'd have to
turn off Cyrus to prevent conflicts because it expects to have sole access.
Cyrus also overlays a number of index files, state files, and other such db
files to make access to the content much quicker.
