dovecot - Sep 2013 - proxy: can I use the password returned from passdb to log in to the back-end?

I am hoping to support encrypted passwords, which I know is generally not
allowed in a proxy setup. However, I can return the password in clear-text
out of the password database, so I was hoping for something similar to the
destuser field.

I have successfully used the master password functionality to support
encrypted passwords (users impersonating themselves), as long as the
back-end server supports that. However, I need to proxy POP3 to Gmail,
which does not.

The "pass" extra field is used by proxy to connect to the remote
server. So if you can manage to return the plaintext password in that field,
it'll work.
