IMAP Help

I am experimenting a little with IMAP and was wondering exactly how to send mail to mailboxes that you create with the imap_createmailbox(). I know that it puts a file under an account like INBOX.whatever, but, as I said dont know exactly how to send mail to this mailbox. Now I might totally missunderstand what precisely this function does. From the looks of it it creates an account under (I am running Red HatLinux) a real unix account you have setup... that is only for receiving mail. Is this accurate. If not, I am trying to figure out how people like hotmail and other email websites have it setup where you dont have a unix account but only a mail account, and how that is all created automatically. (I know there is a way to give people a pop only account but it requires you to become root, not something I would want to have done automatically). Anyway, any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
