Hello!
I'm sorry, but i don't really understand it the way it is written in the wiki, so i'm trying my luck here =) i followed the wiki for creating a master user (the non-sql-version) and i can login as another user via this master user. my dovecot version is 1.2.9 on an ubuntu server 10.4.3 lts.
what i don't get is the acl-setting, so that the master-user can access all the other users mails and folders. i made the changes in the dovecot.conf as written in the wiki: protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl imap_acl } protocol lda { mail_plugins = sieve acl } plugin { acl = vfile:/etc/dovecot/acls }
in my case I only want the master user (called cyrus) to be able to do everything with/in all mailboxes, so I made a file /etc/dovecot/acls/default that reads "user=cyrus lrwstipekxa".
i'm pretty sure i'm missing something rather obvious here, but somehow i'm just stuck. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance =)

are you sure that you dont mixed up master users with acl
normally you use master user like described here
