Topic: How to View Email Account Passwords in IredMail Panel?

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): iredmail
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer?
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL):
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.

I am using IredMail and have created 20 email accounts for my company. How can I view the passwords for these accounts through the panel?

How did you create mail accounts?

With iRedAdmin or iRedAdmin-Pro, password is hashed before saving, it doesn't store password in plain text by default, hence you won't get the plain password.

If you need to access user's mailbox without his/her password, you can try Dovecot Master User instead:
