 At first, I did it as a small exercise to help me better understand
 the Horde framework ;-)

 I do not know. It basically just ask for login, password and new
 password.

 But I really do not know where it must go ? It is Horde dependant (I
 need Horde authentification password to be updated, not just IMP) and
 it is Backend dependant (Here I use imap with system pasword for auth).

 It should be an option of the backend which should provide a "change
 authentification token" API... But how will it be integrated ? Shoul
 there be sub-driver to implement such a service ?

 At last, I think the change password service must be in an Admin
 module...

 Let me know if you have some ideas/preferences about it.

ps. It looks like my english is not very idiomatic... I hope it won't
prevent you from making suggestions...
