10Calendars and addressbooks are maintained as "Collections" within the
11Cyrus mail store.  They appear as mailboxes within the hierarchy, as
12set by the ``calendarprefix:`` option in :cyrusman:`imapd.conf(5)`
13(default is ``#calendars``), but should rarely be directly accessed or
14created using either :cyrusman:`cyradm(8)` or other mailbox-centric tools.
15
16Collections have special attributes, so should be created and
17maintained either through protocol -- i.e. with purpose-built calendar
18or address book clients -- or with the provided web GUI.
