It should be self explanatory for every Cyrus administrator. You know  what the \

It does, but it requires certain PHP and c-client versions. Since  these versions are \
common these days, we removed the admin user  configuration in CVS (IMP 4.1.2). You \
can simply leave the 'params'  array empty.

It allows to create and delete user mailboxes through Horde's admin interface.

Remove it.
