  • In order to remove unencrypted PWDs from imscp's database (it's sha512 now), support for password-encryption for imap/pop3/smtp was no longer given. Thats why as of 1.4.x, only plain and login are available.


    => Have a look at erata-file for 1.4.x


    Background is:
    When you send the pwd encrypted to the server - md5 for example - the server needs to have the password stored unencrypted in the database in order to hash it the same way. By comparing his and your encrypted pwd, the server knows, if the password given was correct.
