We use this simple perl script to add users. Fill in appropriate 
username and password.





#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
use File::Basename;
use IMAP::Admin;

if ( 0 == scalar( @ARGV ) ) {
   die( "\n  Usuage: $0 userid\n");
}


$mailbox = "user.$ARGV[0]";
$username = "";
$password = "";

# Set this to the hostname of your IMAP server
$IMAPSERVER = "localhost";
#

# Main Code
#
# Login to IMAP server
$imap = IMAP::Admin->new('Server' => $IMAPSERVER,
                          'Login' => $username,
                          'Password' => $password,) || die "no go $! !";

print "Login: " . $imap->error . "\n";

# Add user
$add = $imap->create("$mailbox");

if ($add != 0) {
         print "Error: " . $imap->error . "\n";
}
else {
         print "$ARGV[0] added.\n";
}


# Close connection
$imap->close;
exit;
