Hello guys,
first of all, congrats for RoundCube. Very nice Webmail. Now my question: that may seem stupid at first but that's a real question ;-) Something's missing according to me: users can't change their email accounts' passwords. For my email server configuration, and because that's my server, I just need to run one SQL query to change the password (I'm talking about the IMAP or POP account, not the RoundCube profile account). That'd be nice to have a section in the configuration file that tells to RoundCube how to update the password if applicable (SQL query / executable). Something like: $rcmail_config['update_password'] = "UPDATE database.table SET password = sha1('__password__') WHERE email = '__email__'"; If this section is set, well, RoundCube would display a "change password" field in the "my profile" page.
But that'd be worth it if and only if other users agree with that idea. What do you think?
Thanks,
Axel

Changing passwords is an server-specific function; passwords may be
stored in LDAP, /etc/passwd, MySQL, userdb, or any one of a million
other places.
There's a bug for this feature (closed as 'wontfix') at http://trac.roundcube.net/trac.cgi/ticket/1484135

Hi man, I've developped a patch to do this : http://blog.julienwadin.be/index.php/2007/05/26/72-modification-du-password-... It's written in French, but all the filesnames are mentionned with changes you've to make in each of them
You'll have to customize program/steps/settings/passwd.inc with the right SQL Query
Hope this helps

it'd be very useful to include one patch file for this, add the english translation, cobfigure through roundcube main config file and if not include in the upstream than at least include the patchfile into some kind of contrib folder.

Maybe a repository for those kind of things wouldn't hurt, but I wouldn't clutter the distribution.
Also, imo your patch assumes too much to be "generic" - not every mailserver is SQL based or has an SQL api.
But I totally agree the feature is important - the need for a plugin API is getting bigger and bigger. ;-)
Cheers, Till

If you don't have an SQL api, just change the code in password.inc tu use your provider's api :-)

Yes, and _documentation_ about it !

I call this the "hack and run" approach.

Check the Roundcube trac/wiki for our proposal. I am currently working on it. Let me know your thoughts!
