Thanks for the response. Just curious if it's a policy thing or if it is just a feature that has no one has implemented.

If someone can get me at least in the zip code for the package/class that does the security authentication (just so I don't have to spend a few days trying to search through the code trying to find it...) I'll see what kind of a hack I can create at least on my own local version.

Thanks.

Jerry

Is there any way to set up an 'admin' password for accounts so I can use
the standard IMAP interface to do things like prune the spam folders for
all accounts, etc?   I know I can always go straight to the database tables
and delete rows (for pruning spam folders).  But I know the tables are
interconnected, and this means I have to have an accurate understanding of
all of the data structures which presents a risk of db corruption if I
don't do it correctly. Using the IMAP interface just as an IMAP client
program would will allow me to locate expired messages in spam folders and
delete them without risk of corrupting the mail db.  The only problem with
that is that with one-way encryption of the passwords for the account, I
have no way to know the mailbox's password and therefore I have no way use
the IMAP interface to access the mailbox.

So is there any way to add multiple passwords to a userId and/or just have
a backdoor 'admin' password?  Or is there someway to say "if request is
from localhost no password is required for IMAP"?  Or am I going about this
all wrong for pruning spam folders, etc?

Thx.
