Hi,

I tried with 'USER=username' in front of the dovecot call, and dovecot then said 'Logged in as username' instead of 'Logged in as root', but a list command doesn't show the mailboxes, so I think it's not accessing the maildir of that user. I guess it's because the users are not system users, and dovecot needs to retrieve info from the LDAP directory first. But how do I tell it to do that?
Logging in via netcat / telnet works, but then I don't know how to proceed...
Thanks for your help! Patrick.
exporting the $USER variable seems to work - i.e. 'export USER=joetest'. The index is updated and you get all the lovely information for reporting.
This is great. Unfortunately when I run it, existing messages for mutt are marked as O (or old). Thunderbird works just fine. I'm betting to believe these clients hate me. Please let me know of a way to get around this. Thanks.
