Hi All,
Sorry if this is a dumb questions, but what methods are available for retrieving mail for a system user i.e www-data. Basically my setup is just a normal Dovecot-IMAP which is working fine for shell users, but I want to be able to read mail for system users via IMAP.
Is this doable?
Cheers

You should create alias for this users, to send their email to some other account(s); system users are usually risky, so it's better to use them only for their supposed mission.

I alias them to an sysop-account using subaddressing, e.g.:
root: sysop-hostname www-data: sysop-www-data
Sieve files them into equally named mailboxes.
If your MTA is able to do so, you can use Dovecot deliver's -m <subaddress> option.
