- o Dovecot currently will not allow users with a user or group id of 0
-   to login. Because of this you will not be able to open root's
-   mailbox, or any of the mailboxes of users in the wheel group. This is
-   intended as a security feature, and isn't an issue on Linux because
-   the concept of wheel is not enforced by GNU su.

      It is now possible to change this behavior to allow wheel users to
      check their mailboxes with Dovecot. Add the following line to your
