Access other user inbox

hey guys, is there a way to access user inbox or his mails without having to change the password? i got couple of complaints regarding a user so i need to check his mails.

thanks.

I’m not sure how to retrieve a current user password, but you can find the raw messages in maildir format in /home/user-data/mail/mailboxes/example.com/username/.

Of course, if there is something fishy going there is a good chance the messages of concern are deleted.

Essentially they can either share their password with (which I never recommend) or you can reset it and then they can change it back to what they had after the troubleshooting effort has completed.

-or-

looking at the raw message as described by @openletter above.
