forgot password?

Post by gchacko »

Do any version of Mailenable give users the option (for webmail) to click on a link and have their password emailed to them if they lost it or forgot it?

No, there is no version of MailEnable that I know that has this option.

Interesting. If they lost the password, how will they read the mail? Unless they also have a POP/IMAP account setup with an E-mail client and has the password saved and can read the mails....

This would be a useful addition.

I think this would be useful as well. As I see it, this can either be done by either asking users for a "backup" e-mail address and/or using a secret question and answer for password resets.

This can easily be done by creating your own forgot password application if you are using a database backend for the configuration of MailEnable, just add an additional field(s) for other e-mail, or secret question/answer and create a simple asp, asp.net, or php script to query the database and do the work.
