Hi, I use a simple python script for that, the only problem is it needs 
to know the user password. This is no problem for me, since I use it 
while creating the user and I just assigned him/her a random password.
The script creates the mailboxes and subscribes the user to them. Since 
it also creates the user's INBOX you'll have to set to true the 
autocreatequota option in /etc/imapd.conf.
The script accepts the username and the password as arguments and runs 
in the same host as the server.
Hope it helps.


# Crea el buzon de usuario y suscribe a sent, plantillas, borradores

# Para que el usuario pueda crear su propio INBOX hace falta

# que 0

import imaplib
import sys

def createmb(user,password):
   mailboxes=('sent','plantillas','borradores')
   cyrus=imaplib.IMAP4()
   cyrus.login(user,password)
   cyrus.create('INBOX')
   for mb in mailboxes:
     cyrus.create('INBOX.'+mb)
     cyrus.subscribe('INBOX.'+mb)
   cyrus.logout

if __name__ == "__main__":
   createmb(sys.argv[1],sys.argv[2])
