Deleting an IMAP-User / Managing mailboxes

[Forrest Aldrich]

As I understand, you must grant the admin user "c" (or more) under 
cyradm first, then delete. 

There's also "web-cyradm" at http://www.web-cyradm.org/.   Though I 
loath having to depend upon a gui for things like this, Cyrus is complex 
and maybe a gui will help with day-to-day tasks.

This topic should be added to a to-be-created HOWTO info in the Cyrus Wiki.
