The passwords are not encrypted. Just store the DBase outside of your web
root...and then they should be just as safe as any other files on your
system. The only people who can view them, are those who are physically at
the system.
As for the external updates... I created one through the MS Access, and then
went and looked at it through the IMail admin, and all had shown up there
immediately. When you modify the DBase direct, there is a table to add a
path to the users directory. I'm not sure if it creates that directory
immediately, or once the folder is actually accessed for one reason or
another by IMail. Be advised, as another user had pointed out... not all
user info is stored in the external DBase...just the pertinent info to give
mail access...the personal info (i.e. phone number, etc) are stored else
where...
where? no one seems to know.
Maybe IPSwitch could tell us...
Thank You.

Subject: [IMail Forum] external database passwords
When using an external database such as MS-Access, are the passwords stored
in the table encrypted (as they are in the registry) or unencrypted?
When a user record is added to the external database outside of the Imail
administrator (ASP for example), will the account be valid immediately?
Will the directory structure for imail be created when the first message is
delivered to their POP box (which doesn't exist yet).
