So if I use this command I will connect to my own Inbox as the Admin user:

I gather there is no way of doing this from a generic client?

It can be done by other clients, but the SASL auth mech must support it.
e.g PLAIN does support proxy authentication, but LOGIN does not
for a list of features see
ghttps://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/cyrus2/mechanisms.html

For example you could use telnet / openssl s_client

You only have base64 encode 'authzid\0authcid0\0passwd'


imapsync seems to have some way of doing it but perhaps it detects and uses cyrus specific code.

It is (Cyrus)SASL specific not Cyrus-IMAP,
but AFAIK Gnu- and Dovecot-SASL do also support it. ;-)
