Description

Feature Request
Summary

Maybe you could implement the option to change the IMAP password like the roundcube password module does. Then the mail app could be a complete replacement for roundcube. In this module you configure some settings like the prefered encryption, the database type and the database manipulation query. If you take a look into the configuration file of the password module, you will see, what I mean:

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Roundcube plugins/password directory and its configuration approach for encryption, database type, and password queries. Define the supported IMAP password-change backends and configuration before implementation; done means the mail app can change passwords using those settings.
