18Use this authorization identity (**authzid**), during SASL PLAIN
19authentication, in addition to the authentication identity (**authcid**) as
20specified by --user.
21
22If the option is not specified, the server derives the **authzid** from the
23**authcid**, but if specified, and depending on the server implementation, it
24may be used to access another user's inbox, that the user has been granted
25access to, or a shared mailbox for example.
