Hi Viktor,

Dovecot has nothing to do with it. You have to provide a separate mechanism for the task. It is often done within a webmail app. You need it to be able to change passwords for your specific implementation.

    Hi,
    I now have my email system working with virtual users, using a passwd-file
    for passdb. Now I am at the stage where I would like to change my password
    and possibly add other virtual users for my friends, who should be able to
    add/change their password without my involvement.
    I had a look at the IMAP RFCs but didn't see any sort of "change password"
    instruction. I also looked at the Dovecot docs but didn't see any article
    which covered this.
    What is the recommended/suggested way to do this? Is there a way to do
    with within the MDA/IMAP ecosystem or is it required to have an external
    solution e.g. entering the new password on a webpage?
    Thanks,
    Viktor
