title: 'Advanced | Dovecot master accounts'
---
## Introduction
A dovecot master account is able to login as any configured user. This is useful for administrative tasks like hot backups.
## Configuration
It is possible to create, update, delete and list dovecot master accounts using `setup.sh`. See `setup.sh help` for usage.
This feature is presently [not supported with LDAP](https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/pull/2535).
## Logging in
Once a master account is configured, it is possible to connect to any users mailbox using this account. Log in over POP3/IMAP using the following credential scheme:
Username: `<EMAIL ADDRESS>*<MASTER ACCOUNT NAME>`
Password: `<MASTER ACCOUNT PASSWORD>`
