the idea behind this request is to make the usage of pgp (optionally) 
easier for the end-user. protecting the private key using a passphrase 
is absolutely necessary  because the key is saved server-side. but why 
not allow the user to use his horde/imp-pwd as passphrase and to keep 
his passphrase in sync with it? the horde/imp-pwd is not saved as 
clear-text in a secure setup so this should not be a security risk 
(assuming hash-algorithms etc. are secure). the user just would not 
have to type his passphrase for sending/viewing encrypted or signed 
messages. if the passphrase is entered the first time it *is already* 
stored in the session until the user logs of or tells horde to 
"forget" the passphrase. making such a configuration optionally 
available would make the usage of pgp more transparent.

no.  The horde/imp login password has absolutely nothing to do with 
the pgp password.

hi again,



it would also be nice to keep the horde logon-password in sync with 
the pgp/gpg-passphrase if changing password via passwd-module.
