If you're using Dovecot v1.1+ that quota value won't work.
Wordpress and others are using phpass to authenticate (http://www.openwall.com/phpass/), it is basically a salted md5 hash. Basically, after the process, a hash like this is obtained.

I would like to know if dovecot would be able to read this,
It can't. But if you're using Openwall, apparently its crypt() supports this and Dovecot doesn't need to.
otherwise I could still make a custom checkpassword function but that would be non-optimal.
Either that or write a phpass plugin.
