  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Cannot change password in Horde/IMP webmail

This is plesk 8.2 running on Debian.

Attempts to change password in Horde give this result:
"Failure in changing password on Poppassd Server: Incorrect Password"

Attempts to change password at command prompt after telnet to localhost 106 gives this result:

200 poppassd v1.8.5 hello, who are you?
user test@gurffle.com
200 Your password please.
pass redacted
500 Old password is incorrect.
Connection closed by foreign host.

It is very predictable.

I have found that I can use popassd to change the passwords for users where their password file is in /etc/passwd.

This is nice, but our mail password files are in:

/var/qmail/users/poppasswd

I have yet to find a way to make poppassd read /var/qmail/users/poppasswd

I could try to upgrade to the current version, but frankly I am afraid to do so. Maybe I will do so when I have the machine mirrored.
