Hello Jerry,

With the `administratorId`, you are able to use IMAP impersonation.

IE to log in as another user.

You should define it within usersrepository.xml. To see related "reading
config" code: AbstractUsersRepository is the way to go.

Agree that this needs example and documentation. I will do it straight away.

For your IMAP call, MPT tests are going to be a gold mine, presenting
you the exact syntax.
mpt/impl/imap-mailbox/core/src/main/resources/org/apache/james/imap/scripts/AuthenticatePlain.test

Contains:

C: 0007 AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" {36+}
# delegate\0imapuser\0password
C: ZGVsZWdhdGUAaW1hcHVzZXIAcGFzc3dvcmQ=
S: 0007 OK AUTHENTICATE completed.

# Ensure we are delegate
C: 0008 SELECT delegate
SUB {
S: \* FLAGS .*
S: \* .* EXISTS
S: \* .* RECENT
S: \* OK \[UIDVALIDITY .*\] UIDs valid
S: \* OK \[PERMANENTFLAGS .*\] Limited
S: \* OK \[HIGHESTMODSEQ .*\] Highest
S: \* OK \[UIDNEXT .*\] Predicted next UID
}
S: 0008 OK \[READ-WRITE\] SELECT completed\.

Regarding your development issues, I'm really sorry. My environment is
based on IntelliJ, and I encounter no issue.

To be able to compile, I use maven 3.6.2 with JDK 11.

Best regards,

Benoit Tellier
