Entering any pop3 account without reset of password

[congkai]

i think it would be nice if a ADMIN can enter any pop3 account without entering or reseting any password.

this function is not available.

DA, do you have a script that works?

What do you mean by "enter"? Do you mean set up a pop3 account without a password or be able to read pop3 email without a password?

 

[congkai]

viewing any pop3 account without the need to enter password.

Why so you can look at other peoples email. Go to jail do not collect $200.

no its not for this cause.

one of my customer who is the boss of the company is asking me to access his account (when his internet was down) and print out of of the email and pass it to him and he do not want to give me his password because its his universal password.

and he questioned me, why i cannot access his mail when i am his hoster. get it chatwizrd?

Log in, change his password, then access his email. He can change his password back later.

arg. okay. my fault for starting this post then. sorry

The answer is no; pop and imap servers can only store one password per account and do not honor a root password.

If you've got the main server passwords you can read or change anything at the file/shell level; he might as well trust you.
