PHP Cyradm extension - Re: Add mailbox automatically

[Kervin L. Pierre]

Thanks. I didn't know you could do that.

BTW, I browsed the PHP manual for more IMAP stuff and came across a 
Cyradm extension http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.cyrus.php .

It is undocumented.  Has anyone used this extension with success??
