Oh, yes you are right. My problem is, that some of our users decided to 
configure APOP auth-scheme by themself (thru a php interface we provide).

As an unwanted side effect they are now unable to authenticate in sqwebmail 
and I am looking for a solution the allow logins for these users too.

The only difference in the mysql database is a value in the gid field (bit 
orientated) as well as the password field, which is clear-text for APOP users.

So the question is: If the APOP gid-field bit is set, do not authenticate 
against a crypted pw field. Instead use the pw field as a clear-text field.
