Did you upgrade your Plesk install before after you applied the patch? Also what OS is your server running.

I was having the same issue. It turned out to be a problem with my poppassd authentication system. After I made the change, I had no problems at all.

Thanks for the great plugin!

Yes, Upgrade to 8.4.0 was done before applying the patch. I'm on OpenSuse 10.1.

What change did you exactly mean?

Edit: After realizing that first there was no poppassd installed i dit that. Now I got:

whereis poppassd
poppassd: /usr/sbin/poppassd
---
telnet localhost 106
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 h1393804 poppassd v1.6a hello, who are you?

500 Username required.
Connection closed by foreign host.

So I think poppassd is up and running now.
But further on I can't change password under RC. Same Error "Current Password incorrect"

I am wondering if it is because poppassd was installed after the mailboxes were created. Have you test to see if you can change a password manually via telnet?

In case you need instructions:

telnet localhost 106
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
200 poppassd hello, who are you?
user myfullemail@mydomain.com
200 Your password please.
pass myOldPassword
200 Your new password please.
newpass myNewPassword
200 Password changed, thank-you.

Hmm I can't change the password manually. Even for new created mailbox.

telnet localhost 106
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
200 h1393804 poppassd v1.6a hello, who are you?
test@schindler-net.org
500 Username required.
Connection closed by foreign host.

I installed poppassd as described here -> http://blog.irwan.name/?p=228

I really don't know what's wrong.

If you have no more idea, I guess I have to restore a backup with default Horde installation.
I think poppassd is installed there because Horde does use the same technique, does it?
Probably poppassd got deinstalled when I deinstalled horde packages (without knowing Plesk update will install it again) and new installation of poppassd as mentioned above doesn't work for any reason.

You have to type user in front of the username, it should be:
user test@schindler-net.org

EDIT: Also I am curious as to what Horde used to change your passwords, in your old horde directory look in the /passwd/config/backends.php file and look for something similar to :

(Mine is poppassd, yours will probably be different)
$backends['poppassd'] = array(
'name' => 'Poppassd Server',
'preferred' => '',
'password policy' => array(),
'driver' => 'poppassd',
'params' => array(
'host' => 'localhost',
'port' => 106
)
);

I completely reinstalled the server. Poppassd is working now. I can change password manually through telnet and so in horde (backends.php: poppassd).
But RC still refuses to change password with alert "Current Password incorrect".
Firewall setting is OK I think as it allows all connections for changing mail password: /usr/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 106 -j ACCEPT
It's very strange that horde now is able to change password but RC isn't as for both use poppassd on port 106...

What can the problem now be? I go crazy with this
