Sure.. here you go, for 3 of them in the previous mail:

mysql> SELECT CONCAT(pop3_mbox.MailPath, '/', pop3_mbox.UserName), pop3_mbox.Password, pop3_mbox.UserName, 'bsd' FROM pop3_mbox,domain WHERE pop3_mbox.UserName = 'test' AND domain.DomainName = 'dmeon.net' AND pop3_mbox.DomainID = domain.DomainID;
