I finished implementing this on my system. It allows me to take
advantage of the autocreate patch for cyrus. I haven't tested it very
thoroughly yet but it seems to work so far (I'm sure something will
bite me in the ass later though).

A few details for those who may be interested:

1. create a login_user_cyrus.lib modeled after the other cyrus libs:
	$ispman->{'imap'} = ISPMan::IMAP->new();
	$ispman->{'imap'}->login_logout($user, $password, $hostname);
2. Created a new login_logout function in ispman/lib/ISPMan/IMAP.pm
sub login_logout {
    my $self    = shift;
    my $user = shift;
    my $password  = shift;
    my $server	= shift;
    # Calling the connect function will cause autocreate to make the
subfolders defined in /etc/imapd.conf
    my $imap    = $self->connect($server, $user, $password);
    
    log_event ("Trying to login to imap $server as $user");
    
    if ($self->close($server)) {
    	log_event("$user logged in and out successfully");
    	return 1;
    }
    return 0;	
}

3. Modified the connect function in the above file so that it can
take two optional paramaters (username, and password) so that a user
other than the admin can connect.

4. Create a userLogin function in the bin/ispman-agent
