is valid. Various approaches are possible, but only a few implemented.
Please contribute.
Ideas/implementations for validators:
=over 4
=item * Mozilla::Persona::Validate::Table
Maintained is a table of username/password combinations (passwords are
always kept encrypted).
=item * L<Mozilla::Persona::Validate::IMAPTalk|Mozilla::Persona::Validate::IMAPTalk>
The Mail::IMAPTalk implementation is used to contact an IMAP4 server
with the username/password. When login for that server is successful,
then the user is valid, access is granted.
=item * Mozilla::Persona::Validate::HtAccess>
Use htaccess format files, which simplifies integration with websites.
=item * Mozilla::Persona::Validate::IMAPClient>
(To be implemented) Use the more popular Mail::IMAPClient to validate.
