dovecot - Sep 2009 - Root User to Access Mailboxes for Migration

Dear All,

            Hi there. We're currently using Microsoft Transporter Suite to
migrate emails from Dovecot to Exchange. One of the features available to
migrate is using the IMAP server administrator account to access other
users' mailboxes. 

            How and what do I need to set this up? Any information is much
appreciated.
