In the event that a user is on holiday or ill we often find ourselves wanting to allow one user to read another's mail. We are using courier-imap with ldap.
The exchange way to deal with this over imap is to provide a login string something like (from memory) 'actual-user/user-to-login-like' and then use 'actual-user's password. Is there a way to mimic this (or similar) behaviour with courier-imap? So far I think my options are: * Write an auth_custom module - I'd rather not. * Play with our ldap directory and make it contain a second set of combined usernames in the format above that point to the target maildirs * Run a second imap daemon with an ldap config tailored to access another user's mail (assuming the config is flexible enough to handle this and that it doesn't cause locking issues). * Give up on basing it on login string and instead use shared folders (in which case, is it legitimate to use a main maildir as a shared folder?). Could anybody advise me on the best option to persue, or, even better add a better one?
