There is no mechanism implemented for this in the POP3 protocol. You could
create a Asp(x) page that can do this.
Here's some code in c# you could use inside an aspx:

// get the DirectoryEntry for the User
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry(@"WinNT://<domain>/"+UserName);

//Passwords are passed in an Array containing the old and new password

object[] oPassword = new object[2];

// fill Array with Passwords obtained from Textboxes.

oPassword[0] = oldPass.Text;

oPassword[1] = newPass1.Text;

try

{

// Invoke the ChangePassword function for the user

entry.Invoke("ChangePassword", oPassword);

}

catch (System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException TIE)

{

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException ce =

(System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException) TIE.InnerException;

if(ce.ErrorCode==-2147024810)

{// old Password does not match; inform the user...}

else

{

// other error... throw it up the stack

throw(ce);

}

}

finally

{

// close the DirectoryEntry

entry.Close();

}
