For example, I login with a plain (non-admin) account named 'morgan'. If I need to view the mailbox of 'fred', I use cyradm (or a perl script) to grant user 'morgan' rights to the mailbox 'fred'. After that, my IMAP client shows a new folder tree "Other Users" with a subfolder "fred" which is fred's INBOX. When I'm done, I remove the access and everything goes back to normal. You really shouldn't login as a Cyrus Admin with a real IMAP client.
