I cranked up the debug level on dovecot and wrote a quick perl
script to decode the password...

And it's .. correct?  *blink*  Didn't see that coming.  So, unless
this is some sort of strange cookie or session problem, I don't
think Squirrelmail is at fault here...

Trust me, right about now, I wish I could.  But, that's not
possible now, so onward.  I'll take this back to the Dovecot
folks.  If you have any other thoughts/advice, I would certainly
welcome it.

Thank you for all your help!
