I want to have cyrus user accounts where no system user exists.  Is that 
possible?  The reason is, I have a number of cyrus accounts for the same 
user. 

I need to do this because different accounts have different user email 
addresses for sending.  If an email client could have different 
send-from addresses based on folder, then this wouldn't be an issue, 
however Mozilla doesn't do this, and I don't know of a client that does.

Thanks,
