The 'setpassword' and 'update server' routines have been merged.
To change a password just set a new one on the client and re-update
the server.
The server caches the mail record until you reset it (with ctrl-r).
**Test versions of server (1.8.0) and client (2.0.14) implementing this
have been uploaded to the download site.**
<Explanation for newbies>
/Why all this hassle with passwords?/
/PSKmail has been optimized for narrow band operation, which means it
has /
/to be very efficient with its protocols./
/To prevent the client from having to upload the mail data record
again for /
/every session, the server caches the data./
/The drawback of this scheme is that everybody connecting the server
using your /
/callsign can get your mail (userid and password are cached on the
server)./
/To prevent this the client and server exchange session cookies, which
only /
/succeeds if you have set the right secret password on the client./
/The servers do not exchange mail records, and there is no central
database./
/When you are very paranoid, you could set a different password for
each server you use./
