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 =)
