Not using SHA or MD5 as these are one-way hashes - ie you cant get the origional password from the hash.
I'm not sure if james will use a symetric encryption algorithm for password storage. So i believe the answer to your question is no. I use a custom web app to manage username/passwords in a mysql database, and i have added an extra column with the unencrypted password.
