Organize your user/pass information as tab delimitered rows:

user1    pass1
user2    pass2

Then:

#!/usr/bin/zsh

USER_FILE=/home/j/joe/users-list.txt
APP="imap"
DOM="Machine.your.domain.com"

cat ${USER_FILE} | while read line; do
    username=`awk '{print $1}'`
    password=`awk '{print $2}'`
    echo "${password}" | saslpasswd2 -c -p -a ${APP} -u ${DOM} "${username}"
done

Nix.
