[JDEV] IMAP Authentication module?

[Barry Flanagan]

Has anyone built a Jabber module to authenticate against an IMAP server?
Preferably, the xdb_file would still hold all other user information, with
just the authentication being done against an IMAP (or POP) server.

This would be very useful for any site (like ours) which has a large number
of user already registered and do not want to have to have yet another
authentication scheme for the Jabber service. Make password changing ands
signups a whole lot easier to manage.

Thanks in advance.
