I would not recommed this but you can take the following steps:

1) create a text file that looks similar to the output of "ctl_mboxlist -d" 
with the appropriate user that you want to add. The second column is the 
partition where you want the user to go

2) use ctl_mboxlist -u < <path to text file created above>
    this will add the user to mailboxes.db

3) create the directory in the filesystem and make sure the permission is 
correct.

4) do a reconstruct -rf user.<username>

This should add the user to cyrus and make it available immediatly.
