Is there any way, through the API or directly, for an email user to manage their own mailbox? Specifically, I want to let them modify their Autoresponder info. I can write a web page to do that, but it seems there's no way to authenticate the mailbox user, since the list_mailboxes API function says it returns a random password, presumably one unrelated to the actual mailbox password. asked 09 Dec '13, 22:51 bvb |

You would use update_email to do the modifying, you would have to authenticate into the API using the main account username/password the same as other functions. . answered 10 Dec '13, 01:14 johns ♦♦ Yes, I see that, but to allow the user to make the change through a web page, it looks like I have to authenticate them using an alternate credential that can't be synched to their mailbox name/password. Using the latter would be vastly preferable and much simpler. An API function that lets me submit those two items and get back a true/false "authenticated mailbox" result would be a big help - hint, hint!

You can use IMAP authentication for this purpose - so, your script could work like this:
