+MailStore supports archiving multiple IMAP mailboxes by means of a privileged user and the procedure to log in to an IMAP server as specified in ''RFC 4616 - The PLAIN SASL Mechanism''. In addition to the user name and password of the privileged user, an additional property of the user whose emails are to be archived is also passed. This can be, for example, the primary email address or the username.
 You can learn from your email server's manufacturer if your email server supports this type of login and what the prerequisites are.
