CentOS - Jun 2018 - Imap daemons for CentOS 6 (other then cyrus-imapd)

Are there any imap daemons (besides cyrus-imapd).  cyrus-imapd is appearently 
not compatible with postfix + procmail.  I need an imap daemon that will work 
with a postfix + procmail system.

Try dovecot, I use that personally.

There also appears to be good documentation for dovecot+procmail as well 
- https://wiki.dovecot.org/procmail

I use dovecot with postfix and procmail; works fine.

the problem seems to be procmail, I use postfix and cyrus-imapd with no 
problems;

I suggest dovecot if you don't want to deal with Cyrus IMAP, but I can
tell you from first-hand experience that you used to be able to use
procmail to deliver to Cyrus IMAP, using 'deliver'.

However, if you get postfix to deliver directly via lmtp, you can take
advantage of SIEVE to filter your mail, which is quite powerful.  (I
miss it, work migrated to Google Apps and its filters are subpar.)

No actually the problem is cyrus-imapd: cyrus-imapd expects all users to use
imap (or pop3) to access their E-Mail. It does not allow for other E-Mail
methodologies, including using local UNIX utilies (eg mail or pine or mh or
other tools like QWK).

I have uninstalled cyrus-imapd and installed dovecot instead.  This actually 
works.  dovecot is even happy to use a Let's Encrypt cert for SSL.
