[Dovecot] is it possible to fetch messages for multiple users using a single account?
Dear list,
I am running dovecot with LDAP. Each account has email in form
abc at example.com, and messages are stored at /var/vmail/abc/Maildir.
This is an external mail server, and I would like to use a cron job to
fetch all messages to an internal server which has slow internet
connection.
It seems getmail supports multidrop retriever which might fit the
bill. However I could not figure out how to set up an account that can
be used to fetch all messages for all virtual accounts. Is it possible
at all?
thanks,
Tony
