I've heard this can be done...but how exactly? Does it have something to do with the 'proxy user' setting or something? What if sasl is patched for LDAP and does not authenticate locally against the sasldb?
Thanks, -John

Since I'm guessing you don't want to hear the reasons that this won't work (synchronizing UIDs and flags, for example, is hard), I won't go into that. Instead I'll answer your main question directly.
My question was that the only user I know that
can see the whole tree is an admin user. But
by default admin users can't select the mailboxes
because they don't have the proper permissions.
Admin users can authorize as any user they want. So simply have the admin user authorize as each user, and they can get to that mailbox with no trouble.
Note that if you SELECT a mailbox as a user, it *will* change the state of \Recent flags for the user.
