Yes, I tried "cm user/xxx.yyy" at the cyradm prompt, but I got error:
 > cm user/xxx.yyy
createmailbox: Invalid mailbox name
only the following form is correct:
 > cm xxx.yyy
localhost.authtec.com> lm
xxx.yyy

I found version 2.2 does not have this problem. 2.2 allows the creation 
of name with dot.
Another problem with 2.0.1 is that the name created is not associated 
with my domian name.
I think I need to use cyrus-imap 2.2 with sasl1 for another 
installation. I previously used cyrus-imap 2.2 with sasl2, and sasl2 
caused alot of weird problem.

Thanks
Sam.
