Friends, I have a lot of IMAP mailboxes to create, so I thought I would use Cyrus::IMAP::Shell to run a script that would create them for me. Here's what I am doing along with the output I am getting ... 

[plankton@mail1 SETUPIMAP]$ cat mbcreate
connect mail1
cm user.userA
cm user.userB
...
[plankton@mail1 SETUPIMAP]$ perl -MCyrus::IMAP::Shell -e 'run("mbcreat
+e")'
cyradm> [plankton@mail1 SETUPIMAP]$
[plankton@mail1 SETUPIMAP]$ cyradm --user=cyrus mail1
IMAP Password: 
mail1.snakehandlers.net> lm
user.plankton (\HasNoChildren)
mail1.snakehandlers.net> quit
[plankton@mail1 SETUPIMAP]$

[download]
... It seems to me that the mailboxes did not get created because I did not connect to imapd because I did not supply a password. Is that the case? If so how would I supply the password?

Thanks
