password expire warning for dovecot users in IMAP/POP login

[mkawada at redhat.com]

Aki-san,

Thanks for your feedback.

Whatever ways will do.  For instance, in a thunderbird mail client, a 
pop-up message or notification email telling client that the password 
will be expired in XX days, something like this, would be nice.

Thanks,
Masaharu Kawada
