| Having a user/password defined is different from creating an INBOX for
| that user.  You can put 'foo' and foo's password in /etc/shadow, just

| imapd.conf.

So how do I go about creating the INBOX for them? do I need to put it in
/etc/skel for new users and manually create a directory for existing
users? THe documentation would lead me to believe that cm inside cyradm
is the way to do it, but that's not jiving with reality.
