Re: which format does iredadmin store mail password as default ?

Default is MD5 for MySQL backend, you cannot view passwords in plain text.

You can store new password in plain text if you want (see iRedAdmin file "libs/settings.py", search "PLAIN"), but it's not recommended.

Never store password in plain text on production server.
