How to change your password
Using webmail to reset your password.
First of all please take a few minutes to think of a good password. My definition of a good password is something that is:
- 8-12 characters long.
- contains at least 1 non-alphanumeric character (e.g. !ӣ$%^&*(){}[]_+-=.,<>).
- contains at least 1 number.
- contains at least 1 UPPERCASE character.
- is not based on a dictionary word.
A good way to pick a password is to first think of a 2 part memorable place, event or a favourite movie. What ever is important to you. e.g.
starwars
Then try replacing some of the letters with uppercase, non-alphanumeric, and numeric characters.

And do it again for good measure. This time try changing the order or duplicate characters.

The association may help you with remembering the password. Also try to set a different password for different things. For example do not use the same password for your online-banking as you do for a public forum.
OK so we’ve done the boring bit. Here’s the tedious bit. 
Login to Webmail on the top right of this page with your existing username and password. Select the server called “GWork IMAP Server” from the first drop down menu.
Click on the plus sign (+) next to “Accounting” on the left hand menu, then click on “Password”.
Enter your old password followed by your new password twice.
Select the authentication method from the drop down list. For example if you want to change your email password then select “Cyrus Authentication (pop, imap, smtp)”. The other option for FTP and SSH is for people who have specific accounts for accessing website content.
Click “Change Password”. Job Done.
Now log out and test the new password. If you can’t get back in then drop an email to support@gwork.org.
Email server access details
Information such as server name and ports for accessing and sending email through GWork.
Notes on encryption
All encrypted channels are performed using an SSL certificate which has been generated specifically for the GWork service. You may receive certificate warning messages in your browser or mail client. Please see the following pages to download and install the GWork Certificate Authority.
POP3/IMAP4 – Email mailbox access.
Server Name: mail.gwork.org
POP3 and IMAP is available over TLS and SSL connections. You will need to use a a mail client that is capable of supporting these connection methods.
Most email clients support TLS/SSL enabled POP3 and IMAP.
Currently:
POP3 support TLS authentication on port 110.
IMAP4 support TLS authentication on port 143.
POP3S (POP3 over SSL) runs on port 995.
IMAPS (IMAP4 over SSL) runs on port 993.
Plain text authentication is no longer supported. It is only
offered after an encrypted connection has been established.
SMTP – authenticated email delivery.
Server name: mail.gwork.org
Outbound relaying of email can be achieved if a client authenticates first. This must be done over TLS or SSL. Please use the same user name and password which has been created for accessing your mailbox.
Currently the available SMTP ports are as follows:
Standard SMTP port 25 accepts plain text authentication over TLS.
Submission SMTP port 587 accepts plain text authentication over TLS.
Secure submission SMTP port 465 accepts plain text authentication over SSL.
Some email clients do not like certain methods however. The most common
example of this is Outlook. Use port 465 for SMTPS (SMTP over SSL
submission).
