I do not know of a tool to get a user's password, but you could use adduser.exe to make sure that the password stays in synch on the Imail server.
I have ended up with a SQL database containing credentials and forwarding information (for a higher level application that relies on Imail). I keep track of changes in that database, and issue adduser.exe commands to keep the imail accounts in synch when changes occur.
If you could get the new password out of KillerWebMail whenever a user changes it, you should be able to set this up with a bit of scripting.
The syntax for adduser.exe in "update" mode is:
adduser.exe -m username -p "newpassword"There is, of course, full documentation on this utility in the PDFs in the Imail directory, on the site, and in the books.
Sorry if this post is irrelevant--I am not familiar with KillerWebMail.

Hi all,
Does any command-line tool exist for obtaining a particular Imail user's account password?
Our hosting control panel (built in-house) allows admins to manage e-mail accounts, but ever since we deployed Imail's web-based mail w/ KillerWebMail, end-users have had the opportunity to reset their own password outside of our control panel, resulting in synchronization problems. ie. Admins cannot retrieve a forgotten password from our control panel, only reset them; something we are receiving complaints about as this leads to walking end-users through the extra steps of changing their mail client's password settings. The simple solution is to have our control panel retrieve the password in real-time from Imail. I can easily implement this if such a command-line tool exists.
I am using Imail version 7.12 w/ KillerWebMail version 3.0.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Dave
