odd question. my computer crashed, and I had over a dozen e-mails set up via
outlook. and I can't even remember the passwords for most of them.

I've recovered the .pst file in another computer, so all my e-mails &
contacts are back. but I need to get access back to these pop3/imap
accounts.

Is there a way to recover them just from a HD (the old computer is dead, so
I won't be able to boot it and export or anything. PLEASE HELP. Thanks.

Contact the ISP hosting your mailboxes and ask for a password reset.

did I say a dozen? probably closer to 20, spread out over numerous
services. (I'm not doing any illegal or spamming, I just like to
compartmentalize). I don't even have the info to start the password
recovery/reset for some of those accounts.

anyway, I was hoping someone could tell me how to recover the e-mail account
info somewhere. is that possible? thanks.

Email account information is in the registry, but pawwword information is
encoded and not recoverable, as far as I can tell.
