I wanted to use it but there's *NO* documentation. We don't use
dovecot but our IMAP server has a master user function... can't figure
out if its the same as the dovecot function, because:

1) The dovecot function isn't documented
2) There's no documentation as to how asterisk writes to the IMAP.

So I'll put it out to the world to see if someone knows how it
works.... Our email server can do this:

"You can log into any mailbox via IMAP if your user has mboxadmin
capabilities. So if you want to use UserA to log into UserB's mailbox,
you can do the following:

Username: mboxadmin:UserA:UserB
Password: Password_User_A"

Is that what Asterisk is expecting?
