Assuming you you're using passdb sql and userdb prefetch and you want to access
the password in imap/pop3/etc process, you can do:
password_query = '%w' as userdb_password, ...
Then the password will be available the same way as plugin { password } would
be available (mail_user_plugin_getenv()).
You could also write a passdb plugin you could access the password directly
from auth_request->mech_password.
