You can grant specific users access to a mailbox. 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.
