how to change the password of a pop mailbox use php, is it possible

The file with all of the passwords would have to be updated, probably by means of interfacing with a shell file suEXECed. Otherwise I don't think there are any PHP functions to edit POP account passwords.

if you can do it via telnet, you can do it in php.

Well...PHP does allow you to talk to mail services using protocols like IMAP/POP3/SNMP etc. But, I think changing password will largely depend on what mail server you use. Based on that...you have to call the mail server's internal process of changing password (as already described by others...either by using Application ID...shell etc.).

Did you try this out? Please share your experience. :)
