Yes, but that's a separate configuration issue. Whether you're going to allow non-encrypted IMAP, POP3, or HTTP connections is separate from whether or not passwords are kept encrypted or in plain text.

There's a README in the source; you can also look at it here: http://www.courier-mta.org/imap/README.sharedfolders.html
Additionally, you need to understand IMAP access control lists. http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=4314
Does that mean, assuming a sql backend, that, once a new account has been added in the users table, someone has to manually issue the maildirmake command in a shell?
Only if the process that adds a new user doesn't do that itself.Since you already have a process that creates a new user entry, I would expect it to complete the job and set up the account as well. Why would it stop without the job being completely done, and force you to do it manually?
If so, are you aware of any third party web interface thattakes care of account provisioning for courier?
No. There isn't really any standard way of doing it. Each organization tends to maintain their mailboxes in their own particular way; I'm sure that there are various, generic, account management packages floating out there, only a Google search away.
