Dovecot provides a master login (a master user name and password that can log into all user accounts).
I've setup Dovecot as per: http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers Here's my problem. The only way I can authenticate successfully is if I try to authenticate through telnet twice. Also, imapsync (the tool I need to use to migrate over emails from Dovecot to other mail server) won't work because of this. $ telnet mail01.server.com 143 Trying 10.10.10.12... Connected to mail01.server.com. Escape character is '^]'. * OK Dovecot ready. 1 login u...@server.com*master my_password 1 NO Authentication failed. 1 login u...@server.com*master my_password 1 OK Logged in.
