This is curious.  Are you *sure* it works?  The tech support guy at IPSwitch
was rather indignant when I asked why it didn't seem to work.  I believe his
comment was "Who are we to change an NT password?".  For the sake of
argument, would you try it once and confirm that it does indeed work?  If it
does, then maybe the guy I spoke to was just having a bad day and I'll give
them another call.

BTW - I do have my Imail box set-up as a BDC.

Thanks,
Mike Benedict

Subject: RE: [imail] Change password menu item


Sorry about this late note, but I've been on vacation.

We DO use the NT user database and Imail 6.04 AND have our users 
change their password through Imail and KWM.  The only way this 
works is if we make the Imail server the NT Domain Controller.

I haven't upgraded to Imail 6.05 yet (since I didn't want to do 
that right before going away for two weeks).  I hope that I can 
still use the change password feature with the NT database when I 
do upgrade.
