## Introduction
|
|
|
|
A dovecot master account is able to login as any configured user. This is useful for administrative tasks like hot backups.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
It is possible to create, update, delete and list dovecot master accounts using `setup.sh`. See `setup.sh help` for usage.
|
|
|
|
This feature is presently [not supported with LDAP](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/pull/2535).
|
|
|
|
## Logging in
|
|
|
|
Once a master account is configured, it is possible to connect to any users mailbox using this account. Log in over POP3/IMAP using the following credential scheme:
|
|
|
|
Username: `<EMAIL ADDRESS>*<MASTER ACCOUNT NAME>`
|
|
|
|
Password: `<MASTER ACCOUNT PASSWORD>` |
