Hello, Most of my users (I have about 1000 boxes) dont use webmail. And they dont want to log to some webmail system for changing simple things. I compare web-cyradm and postfixadmin. Postfixadmin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/) has simple feature for users for changing 2 main things. All other features (like filtering with sieve) are needed maybe for 1% of users, and these 1% are advanced users (like you).
So, I think, if it is possible to make life easier to simple users (not for you or me or others on this list), that features should be as possible simple. That's why I offer to implement such possibilities as postfixadmin has. It is not so difficult, but it's great. regards, Martynas > I too agree that it would be nice feature to integrate to web-cyradm, > but I like to think web-cyradmin as an admin tool, not as a user > tool.

Why, you may ask.
