Yes, there is vpopmail (via sql) support in the CVS HEAD version of passwd,
but it is not yet in the release version.

There is a generic sql driver in the release that you might be able to
get to work with vpopmail, or then again maybe not. ;)

Yes, and the passwd support only does vpopmail passwords in a sql backend
(shouldn't be specific to MySQL though, any sql db should work).

You can (in HEAD) do it without poppassd.  (And it is technically in Horde,
not IMP, but that is a minor technical nit).

I don't know of any, but that is because I don't run qmail/vpopmail.

Seems an appropriate place for most everything, but your last question 
about a howto doc may get more responses on a larger list like the 
IMP list.
