Re: authenticate as userA, but get authorization to user userB's account

Question: Is there any way to split the authentication from the authorization within common mail clients (as Thunderbird) in combination with Dovecot. That is, doing something like logging in to the account sales@example.com, using the credentials of the very own account (say hans@example.com)?

Hi,

wouldn't this be a use case for acl_groups, where a user would belong to group "Sales" and this "role" would gain specific access?
