[BUG] doveadm / mail-crypt: Error when setting new password for a user key

[Kevin N.]

Hi Aki,

Yes. Without -O the following error is thrown:

result: dcrypt_key_load_private(...) failed: password missing

Which makes sense since you need the old password for setting a new 
password for the user key.

BTW: the behavior is the same on 2.3.15 too.

Cheers,

Kevin
