Imapsync tips about imap admin authentication.
|
|
=======================================================================
|
|
|
|
It can be useful to authenticate without knowing each user password.
|
|
Using an admin account to authenticate is not a standard feature
|
|
supported by all imap servers. Sometimes it is implemented via --authuser1
|
|
sometimes not. It depends on the server software and its configuration.
|
|
You have to figure out what is the imap software server,
|
|
find out if it supports an admin account and how,
|
|
if an admin account is actually configured and
|
|
finally check an authentication via this admin account for
|
|
a standard user.
