Hiya,

Basically we're a school and there are certain circumstances, e.g. cases 
of bullying etc. were we may need to access someone's email account to 
check for evidence. In the old exchange setup you could login using the 
credentials above, and you'd be presented with the contents of their 
mailbox but I can't find anyway of doing that on Cyrus.

Thanks,

Jools
