mkimap only creates 'a'..'z' because those are the only directories that the
cyrus hash function will map files into. For mailboxes starting with a
letter, the lowercase of the first letter is returned. For all non
alphabetic first characters, including numbers, 'q' is returned.
All numeric mailboxes will work if the authentication works right, but cyrus
wont use directories other than 'a'..'z' even if you create them.

Subject: mkimap - directories from "a" to "z" only
Hello again!
Why does mkimap only create directories from "a" to "z" only and
doesn't create , for example, "0..9" too?
I have tried to create from 0..9, altering mkimap to do that, but
cyrus doesn't authenticate a username like 99999!
How can I create user's mailboxes with numbers only and cyrus could
understand it?
What is the problem? This question has been asked before, but anybody
has answered yet.
And I need it so much.
Thanks a lot.
