Re: [Dovecot] Disabling users whilst still allowing logins with a 'master password'

Hi Dominic,

Normally to disable logins for a user we chmod their mail store to 0 so they can't access it, which has the same effect, but this obviously also prevents the master password from being able to access it. Would it be feasible to chown the mailstore to some special user and use the account of that user to access the mailbox instead of the master password? Or, alternatively, run a second instance of dovecot-imapd (running as that special) to let the migration process access the mailboxes?

Not very pretty, but since this is only for migration, I'd say it would suffice if it works?
