[TriLUG] Authentication/Master User for dovecot

[Chris Bullock]

Hey guys, we are migrating our email from dovecot to another imap server.  We need some help with migrating the mail to the new imap server.  We have a perl script that can handle the migration but we need to login to the as a user that can access the users mailboxes(root can not do this).

I have read up and there seems to be a setting that I can put in dovecot as a "Authentication/MasterUsers" that does what I need.

My knowledge of dovecot and very limited so any help would be appreciated.
