That means your changes of the main.cf are not enough, you have to tell postfix
to deliver the mails to cyrus, because cyrus doesn't use Maildirs. This was the reason
I asked you for your changes in main.cf.

An imap client reads from an imap server not a location on the server. You don't get mails,
because the server didn't get them. In the moment you have told postfix how to deliver to
cyrus, you will see the mails in your mail client that you hopefully will replace with
thunderbird soon.
If you would decide to install additional amavisd-new, spamassassin and clamav from contrib I could help you with my postfix setup.
I could show you how to setup server side sorting in folder with a web frontend too.
