I think it's fairly normal to let your mail reader store your email password. So replace Firefox with Thunderbird or Mail.app, and the passwords will (again) be unencrypted, I think? Or does (say) OS X (or Ubuntu) start a key chain when you log in, and then Thunderbird consults that when it connects to the IMAP server? -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no * Sent from my Rome
