You can't create folders at the same level as the INBOX with Cyrus, but you
can make the "Drafts" & "Sent Items" folders appear to be at the same level
as the INBOX by either editing the registry, or setting the "Root Folder
Path" to INBOX (Tools->Accounts->Mail->[mail account]->IMAP).
You will need to determine if your users need access to shared folders
(requires Registry Editing, or custom IE5.5 install).
To set up the "Sent Items" & "Drafts" folders, see:
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/archive/message.php3?index=5091&array_index=2
NOTE: 1. You can also use the IE5.5 IEAK to create an IE45.5 install
that has the default "Sent Items" and "Drafts" folders set
to "INBOX.Sent" and "INBOX.Drafts".
2. When creating new users, you should create the "INBOX.Sent",
"INBOX.Drafts", and "INBOX.Templates" (NetScape) Folders for
each user. (You may want to go thru your existing users and
create these folders for them.)
