*NOTE: sorry for posting little bit off topic question. I thought some one
in this might have faced this requirement while using james. Any input
would be appreciated.*

We have web application where upon registration user will get email account
created on James server.

For example, if user registered as IAMSAM with password SOMEPASS, our code
creates an emailID account with name *[email protected]* and *SOMEPASS* as
password.

Right now we are storing passwords in database as hash/salt.

The issue we are struggling address is, when user login & move to some page
where they can fetch emails from James, we can't pass "plain text"
password  (because we are keeping salted password only) to authenticate.
Can someone please help with pointer for solution?

I see one possible way is, use hash/salt password while creating email
account, but this may not work if user try to access his/her email account
from other clients like Mozilla Thunderbird.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks for your time and help.

Thank you,

Giri
