Mike, Short answer, no. Long answer, IMail does not decrypt (decode) passwords. >From what I understand, it just hashes them, passes to the process that checks the hashed password to the stored one (also hashed) and says yea or nay, then goes from there. this might be different for an external DB (passwords there are stored in clear text), but should work in a similiar manner, never needing to decoding the password. If the user can login on the next attempt (retyping the password) then it would be most likely that their typing is bad. If the client is setup to remember the configuration and password, then it would always be 'correct' (unless the client changes things+ACE-)so should not fail to log them in. That would be interesting to note, if that login failed+ACE- I would not recommend that users have their password 'remembered' by their client, but for a test period, I cannot see where this would be likely to cause any harm.
