email password in clear text

hi,

From what i see in rc4 the email passwords are stored in clear. Is it not dangerous to store the email password in clear text in the database ?

I know that to provide 'i forgot my pass' feature you need this but is this tradeoff not a security risk ? Is there any technical reason for this ?

regards,
Ghislain.
