Could it be possible to build a change password feature to the RoundCube? I have users who don't have (or never will have) shell access so this is the single most important feature needed to change my RounCube to my primary webmail.
I have to say, I don't think that a mail client should have access to change the passwords; it produces an awful lot of dependencies on the
I'm totally in agreement with this, Roundcubemail is supposed to be a webmail client, not a full fledged web/server/email/smtp/spam/virus implementation, something that Novell's Hula is supposed to be; it's a webmail client, and the best one out there yet IMHO. Look at the about page: http://www.roundcube.net/?p=about there's nothing on there that says it wants to be anything more, and I for one hope that doesn't change, the focus should be on useabilty and functionality within a client webmail realm; not OS level functions. If you want/need to change user passwords, I'd recomment something like Webmin - or some homegrown password change webpage, though I wouldn't trust it to be secure. I dont' think Roundcube is ready to jump into any Corp environments, so I don't see a need to do anything beyond that yet. I would hope in the future that they're be a sep project, an admin gateway that would compliment Roundcube - but again, with all the backends being so disparate, who k nows how many functions it would have to cover. Again, I don't want those admin features in a web client, but would see it being a sep/complimentary project.
