[sork] Password field format and value in MySQL

You mean there are mixed encryption methods in the database?

> This work fine for Dovecot but it seems not for Sork.

AFAIK, sork will not support mixed encryption.  All passwords would have
to be in the same format.

> As Dovecot and Sork share the same table, how does Sork knows which  
> encryption / decrypion to be use ?

It is configured in backends.php.  If you have a single encryption, you
can configure it there.  If you have mixed encryptions, you would need
to modify sork to auto-detect the password based on the prefix, and handle
it accordingly.
