I might not have asked that last question in the clearest way.

The telephone systems access MS Exchange and Lotus notes using the IMAP4 
interface of Exchange/Notes and a single (presumably master) username 
and password. The telephone systems then adds voicemail messages (as a 
WAV attachment to an ordinary message) to the users inbox and, if the 
user dials in for their voicemail, they can access the INBOX to find the 
voicemail messages and play those back.  From the users perspective they 
can either get their voicemail by dialing in, or by reading their inbox 
and playing the WAV files.

I was wondering whether anyone had any documentation on the differences 
between using Dovecot with a master user and using exchange/notes with a 
master user.  In other words if the telephone exchange says it fully 
support Exchange/Notes how much work should I expect in getting it to 
work with dovecot?

Jon.
