How do I remotely change POP Password

There's a nifty little tool named poppass 1.05 for win32 written by Michael John Phillips / Vortex Software which I'm using since years. Unfortunately it's page is down and I couldn't find it anywhere else on the net so I'm providing it at my server: http://hideout.ath.cx/pp10532e.zip

Best regards

Nico

Hi,

 

I've installed Mercury/32 V4.52, and the PopPass Server is running.  How do I go about changing my password remotely ?  I use Mozilla's Thunderbird as my mail client.

 

Thanks
