Advanced | Dovecot master accounts

Introduction

A dovecot master account is able to login as any configured user. This is useful for administrative tasks like hot backups.

Configuration

It is possible to create, update, delete and list dovecot master accounts using setup.sh. See setup.sh help for usage.

This feature is presently not supported with LDAP.

Logging in

Once a master account is configured, it is possible to connect to any users mailbox using this account. Log in over POP3/IMAP using the following credential scheme:

Username: <EMAIL ADDRESS>*<MASTER ACCOUNT NAME>

Password: <MASTER ACCOUNT PASSWORD>
