There is no pop3 server that allows you to change passwords,
as the pop3 protocol does not include a method to change
passwords.
Some pop3 clients will allow you to change passwords. For this
to work the computer that runs the pop3 server must also run a
pop-password daemon (poppassd) on TCP port 106.
Poppassds are available from:
ftp://ftp.acns.nwu.edu/pub/poppassd
ftp://ftp.eudora.com/eudora/servers/unix/servers
Finally, I believe that Adrian Sun's modified version of netatalk
allows passwords to be changed from the chooser. His version is
available from ftp://ftp.u.washington.edu/public/asun
Later,
Ashok
