On running;
$ poppassd
200 poppassd v1.8.5 hello, who are you?
user satimis
200 Your password please.
pass satpass
200 Your new password please.
newpass satnewpass
500 Server error, password not changed


In another case;
$ poppassd
200 poppassd v1.8.5 hello, who are you?
user userA
200 Your password please.
pass userApass
500 Old password is incorrect.
