Re: Possible to authorize as different user?
Quoting Steinar Kaarø steinar.ka...@ntnu.no: A related feature in Cyrus does not seem to work as stated in the man page: imapmagicplus: 0 Only list a restricted set of mailboxes via IMAP by using userid+namespace syntax as the authentication/authorization id. Using userid+ (with an empty namespace) will list only subscribed mailboxes. Providing a namespace after + does not have any effect, and a comment in the source says that this is not implemented. You should file a bug if that is the case. I have never heard of such a feature.

I'm a Mulberry user, so I'm familiar with the possibilities in that client. My problem is that I'm trying to get Outlook 2013 to handle public folders. This is not working very well, and it seems to be a better solution to create non-login Cyrus users that the ordinary Outlook users can authorize as. In Outlook you then create one account setup for each authorized user. With this solution the sent messages and trash messages are stored in the correct folders on the server without any client tweaking. Exchange IMAP has solved the authorization problem by letting the LOGIN mechanism support this username syntax: authid/authzid. This allows all types of clients to authorize as different users, and something similar would have been nice i Cyrus.

Possible to authorize as different user?
Hello, Is it possible to authorize as a different user when logging into Cyrus using an ordinary mail client? From what I understand this is only possible in Cyrus when using SASL PLAIN, but are there any clients that support the authorization part of the PLAIN mechanism?
