How to change the password of an e-mail account

I recommend to change your password at least once a month. To do so, please do the following:
  1. Click Mail
  2. Click Add/Remove/Manage Accounts
  3. Click the Password button to the right of an email address for which you would like to change the email password for.
  4. In the box to the right of New Password, type the new password for the email address
  5. Click Change button
You have now successfully changed your email password.

Is there a URL for the actual recipients to reset their own password without requiring support from the hosting account holder?

If the email user lost his or her password, they must contact the domain owner to have the password reset.

Once logged in, then the user can change the password.

as site administrator after changing a password for an email account can i then go in and read the email in that account?

Yes, you can do exactly that.

Just realize you won't be able to revert the password, so the email user will notice his password was changed.
