rc7 and plain text mail passwords changed?

[supaplex]

How can I manually rekey the passwords now that I'm ready to keep them all encrypted? I'm ready to migrate the dovecot configuration again, but I can't do that quite yet The plain text passwords will not decode

I was forced to keep them plain text (I reloaded this table only) after the upgrade.

I did try update mail_users set mail_pass='look-mom-plain-text',status='change' where mail_id=2024 limit 1;

However, after request manager runs (yay */5 crontab - topic in another thread), only the status is changed (ok).

TIA
