Most of imap client expect the credential you will use to have a personal INBOX, but admin user should not have INBOX. Anyway technicaly admin can read user's mailbox, but you have to write the IMAP client yourself, or find the good one :-). The best way is to create a new user and give him ACL on all mailboxes. I thing cyradmin will let you do : sam user/*@example.com newuser lrswipkxtecda at once Regards On 9/14/07, jools@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <jools@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi All, > > Just a quick question regarding accessing mailboxes via admin accounts.
