There's no IMAP change password command as far as I know. Eudora et. al. have always used a separate protocol for changing passwords, requiring that "poppassd" be running on the mail server.

It uses PAM, so you can use it to change LDAP, system, Samba, etc passwords.
That's probably the best bet for a password change plugin, although it introduces a new server dependency. The only other way I've found of changing passwords via the web (besides direct LDAP queries, which I use) is via an suid root CGI, which would introduce all kinds of bad dependency/configuration/security issues - not something I'd recommend for RC.

Is there a mechanism via IMAP that allows for the changing of passwords without shell access? I too would like this feature because trying to service a lot of users is hairy.

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. -- Kari Päivärinta
