Then log in with the password you created with saslpasswd2. I was able to create mailboxes for users with no entries in /etc/passwd on the system, and access them from evolution. I was *NOT* able to delete those accounts using 'dm username' I keep getting 'permission denied'. That's something I'm probably not doing right.

That is a security feature. This avoids that users accidentally delete their mail account. The cyrus-imapd superuser would have to change the permissions. But even if you delete the mailbox inside cyrus the authentification data will persist in the sasldb(2) database unless root deletes the user. And the cyrus-imapd should be compiled with the autocreate patch, so that for users with login data the INBOX will be created automagically on first login/delivery.

I was logged in as user 'cyrus'. I created a mailbox 'ckloiber' which worked, and I could set/remove permissions and store mail there. But I discovered that all mail boxes should be created like:
galileo.ckloiber.com> cm 'user.ckloiber'
Which gives that user an official 'INBOX:' So I was having difficulty running the command:
galileo.ckloiber.com> dm 'ckloiber'
Which I expect to work when I'm logged in as 'cyrus'. I suspect the difficulty may lie in the fact the mailbox to be deleted does not follow the naming convention.
