by the move to Dovecot we try to alter the password encryption stored in the database from MD5 to CRYPT-SHA256 along the Guide at http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/ConvertPasswordSchemes. It's mostly working but i still have not found out how to pass the cleartext password to the re-encrypting script. According to the HowTo it should be enough to add "'%w' AS userdb_plain_pass" to the passdb query, to get a environment variable $PLAIN_PASS in the post-login script to pass along. This does not work eg. PLAIN_PASS is always empty. This is Dovecot 2.0.19 from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. It seems to depends on how you are doing your userdb, not passdb..
I use a static userdb, so I have:
userdb { args = uid=xx gid=xx home=/xx/xx/%d/%n plain_pass=%w driver = static }
