While this does work, it means your users are changing their passwords in 
the clear. If you're using POP wihout STARTTLS, I guess there's no real 
difference in security, but if you're using TLS, I'd recommend against this 
approach. Using SSH would help, but then that's one more thing to explain 
to users. Better to build something web based, and buy a certificate (or 
use the same one as for TLS with qpopper).
