Hi Tren! Thank you for your answer. It helps a lot. Could you be so kind to explain features you mentioned before? I read a lot about "learning passwords" and "clear-text password" features from this mailing list, but do not have clear picture what is it. I guess it will be helpful for those of us who are going to migrate to 5.0 soon. :) My users mostly use web access (horde/imp) - so as I understood they will be prompted to provide password first time they login right?
