E-mail password recovery
 

Just wondering if anyone can help me , i have a really old e-mail account set up on my computer and i havn't got a clue what the password is , i can't ring the isp as i no longer use them as a provider but i need to get the password to set up on another computer :) , i know there are programs you can buy but was wondering whether anyone had a 'cheaper way'

any help appreciated :tu:

Which provider is the email account from? On their website, if they have one, is there a "forgot my password" link?

What software are you using for your email client - some do allow you to export the account settings and import to other clients. That may transfer the password too.

Revelation is one I always suggest. Easy to use and doesn't harm any files on the PC. As long as you have the option to use it I would try this tool before anything else.
