Did you say before you were running courier, or just courier-imap?  
Are you using qmail for the SMTP server?

In any case, see matt.simerson.net/computing/qmail.toaster.shtml 
for some leads on qmail-based user admin.

I've set up a system based on that, and with qmail as the smtp 
server, I am able to allow users to use qmailadmin to change their 
settings.  The release version only allows the 'postmaster' of the 
domain to make changes, so you'll need the latest devel 
qmailadmin to allow users to change their own settings.

There might be too much information there, if you have a simple 
setup, and just want to change passwords. (ie. no vacation 
messsage, forwarding, etc)
