Re: Outlook related idiot-question

how can I get outlook's passwords for pop accounts?
or how/where does it store them?
is there any program to execute on the machine with the accounts' passes I
want to get which will get'em and send'em to a mail address, leaving no
traces, and fast?

Since POP3 and IMAP4 both use clear-text passwords, you'll have an easier
time just sniffing them off the network than getting them from the registry,
but if you care to try it, it is stored in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\OMI Account
Manager\Accounts\<profile name>
