One final comment. The whole idea of PROXYAUTH has been obsolete for a decade, having been replaced with SASL authentication/authorization ID.How do I generically support this feature with any given server a customer might be using?
When you open the mailbox, use the /authuser= option, e.g.
{imap.example.com/user=fred/authuser=joe}inbox
where "fred" is the account to be logged into and "joe" is the administrator account.
This is documented in naming.txt.
However, I have to say it's not particularly clear how to do it, since my two tests to use it (using mtest) against Exchange and Communigate Pro failed.
Did you use /authuser=, or did you try to use the "*" hack?
There's also almost zero documentation about it. The only mention I saw was in RELNOTES and it said to use an * in the userid to seperate the identity
Don't try to use the "*" hack. It's only supported by the UW IMAP server, and only for ancient clients that can't do SASL.
