I need to recover an email account password from an IAF file
Can someone tell me how to freely recover
an old mail account password I lost when changing machines it was in the form of an IAF extension all the account information but it is encrypted and I need that same password to get access to other things besides email which works A-OK ?? I might go to my ISP but because it is a gift it resides under another persons data. I have all I need on my own machine WHICH I OWN and ADMINISTER but cant for the life of me recover a stupid password which is my own. ?? The IAF extension is an exported account. All the data is there but it cant be read. Also is there a way to not encrypt passwords since I am the only user of this machine ?? Win VIsta Premium OEM version SP2. Thanks for any realistic answers. geoff

(Haven't used OE for more than a decade, so I'm not familiar with its file types.) Anyway, this still wouldn't really be the best place to ask, since Vista doesn't include Outlook Express; it has Windows Mail. (Not much of an improvement, but there you are.) The OP would still be most likely to get the best assistance by asking his question in a Outlook Express or Win2K/XP newsgroup, where there are more likely to be people familiar with OE. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot
