email pass editing

[nitethorn]

I understand from reading other posts that I cannot give my users a control panel for their email accounts. However... is there any way possible to allow them to change their email account passwords without having me do it? My website is not a business, it is basically a personal site based on an online game. The email addresses that I am giving them may occassionaly be used for personal things... and I'm not sure that I, nor they, feel completely comfortable knowing that I can log into their accounts at any time.

Any help on this matter is appreciated. Thanks!

if you tell your users to go to www.yourdomain.com/webmail (http://www.yourdomain.com/webmail) and enter their email address as the username and the password, they will be taken to the "email control panel" where they will be able to change their password and manage their boxtrapper settings as well as other email specific controls. They will also have a choice between checking their mail in Horde or SQ Mail.

They should feel comfortable as it provides one more level of security for them. If they happen to forget their email password or need other admin-specific help, they can contact you and know you have the ability to change settings appropriately. This is where a good privacy policy comes into play. If you are going to offer email accounts to your users, I would definately get one for your site.
