imap has no intrinsic functionality for logging in as a user then 'impersonating' someone else. What you can do is setup your email server so that your administrator account or similar has access to other users via shared folders (this is supported in imap2 servers - e.g. Exchange). This is done all the time, for example if a manager wants his/her secretary to have access to his/her mailbox. Of course all access in this way needs to be in line with privacy policies etc.
When you connect as, say, 'admin', you can then see the shared folders you have access to. These folders are accessible via imap. This is more of an imap thing, and isn't really related to DIH/Solr per se. For Exchange servers, have a look at: http://www.petri.co.il/grant_full_mailbox_rights_on_exchange_2000_2003.htm and http://www.ehow.com/how_5656820_share-exchange-mailboxes.html HTH Peter On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 2:32 PM, milomalo2...@libero.it <milomalo2...@libero.it> wrote: > Hi Guys, > > i am new in Solr world and i was trying to figure out how to implement an > application which would be able to connect to our business mail server throug > IMAP connection (1000 users) and to index the information related e-mail > contents. > > I tried to use DH- import with the preconfigured imap class provided in the > solr example but as i could see there is no way to fetch 1000 user and > retrieve > information for them > > What would you suggest as first step to follow ? > should i use SOLRJ as client in order to reach user content across imap > connection? > Doesn anyone had experience with that ? > > thanks in advance > > > >
