Bug Description
This is a feature request rather than a bug, I don't see a place where to put the priority.
Release: ubuntu karmic
Package: openchangeclient
Version: 1:0.8.2+
openchangeclient is really brilliant software, I expect it to let me use my favourite MUA for emails. But I cannot found how to make it ask the password interactively. Currently I could found only 2 ways for passing the password:
1. put it in the database. This is obviously bad for security
2. pass it in commandline argument. This is bad too, because the commandline is accessible for all processes at the same host, and I have to make special care for not storing this command in history.
Please implement interactive request for the password.

Is it really bad in the database? If you are the only person that can read the database file, then there is no issue, right?
