I'm pretty sure Imail has no way to decrypt passwords from an
external database. Better check the Imail knowledge base and Imail6
user guide .pdf. "Encrypt" returns 4 articles.

This is an ODBC issue, Imail doesn't care.
Just connnect ODBC over tcp/ip to the remote machine. I strongly
recommend that you don't run the SQL database and Imail on same
machine if you have 10's of 1000's of accounts.
