To my knowledge the sqwebmail-pass files are no longer used and if you compile both vpopmail and sqwebmail with the proper options it makes the changes directly. That's my experience at least.
Before logging in with sqwebmail 3.2.0: [root@EOTnetworks Maildir]# ls total 0 drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 120 Oct 10 12:30 . drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 72 Oct 10 12:30 .. drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 48 Oct 10 12:30 cur drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 48 Oct 10 12:30 new drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 48 Oct 10 12:30 tmp After logging in with sqwebmail 3.2.0 and changing my account password:' [root@EOTnetworks Maildir]# ls total 8 drwx------ 9 vpopmail vchkpw 320 Nov 19 12:29 . drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 72 Oct 10 12:30 .. drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 72 Nov 19 12:29 calendar -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 0 Nov 19 12:29 calendar.cache drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 48 Oct 10 12:30 cur drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 184 Nov 19 12:29 .Drafts drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 48 Oct 10 12:30 new drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 232 Nov 19 12:29 .Sent -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 4 Nov 19 12:29 sqwebmail-curcnt -rw------- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 1 Nov 19 12:29 sqwebmail-timestamp drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 48 Nov 19 12:29 tmp drwx------ 5 vpopmail vchkpw 184 Nov 19 12:29 .Trash and I'm able to login to sqwebmail and pop in using the new password.
