Are you shure that they're in md5 encrypted? Standard is crypt
i think, but i'm not 100Percent shure.

Whith the new pam_mysql-pre Version you can use md5 ass well.

No, i think you must write it in php or perl to do this. Look at the
sql structure it is very simple to understand the structure.

If you wan't to convert the passwords to md5, you must have the
passwords in plaintext so that you can use this in your sql query:
"INSERT INTO tablename(username, password, ...) VALUES('marcel',
'".md5($:POST["password"])."', '...');" Then he writes the passes in md5.
Then you must change in
pamfiles the crypt=3 for md5 encryption and in config.inc.php from
web-cyradm
use md5 too.

If you have set up the correct users and Pathes the web-cyradm uses the
cyradm
programm to create or delete the mailboxes in cyrus-imapd. The first mail
woul'd
only be delivered to the mailbox if the cyradm has created the mailbox in
cyrus-imapd,
or if the user logs in with a mua, then cyrus-imapd will create the folders,
if there
aren't exists.

You can read it all in the web-cyradm HowTo from Luc at:
www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/index.html
if you want to have names like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] you must
use the "unixhierarchysep: yes" in imapd.conf.

At the to you have wrote, that you have configured the pam module with
crypt!
There are two Parameters you must set! 1. in pam files, 2. in web-cyradm
config file.

I hope this helps a little bit.
