Guide Review - Mail Password Recovery 1.1 - Email Password Recovery Tool
Whatever email client has stored your password, Mail Password Recovery can retrieve it. You just need to set the email program to talk to Mail Password Recovery instead of the mail server and you'll have your user name and password in plain text instantly.
It's a simple and effective process, but unfortunately a couple of conditions must be met for it to work: you must use a POP account (maybe your email client lets you switch to POP without having to re-enter your password) and the password must be sent in plain text (which is usually the case still).
If it works, Mail Password Recovery is a simple if not particularly comfortable way to grab your forgotten email passwords.
