Where are the passwords?

[Pam]

I was wondering if there is a place on xp pro that one is able to go and
view the passwords you've put in for OE? You know how it saves your
passwords ect... just wondering if there is somewhere one can retrieve the
email passwords or where they are saved in xp pro?

thanks
pam

They are encrypted in the registry. There are apps out there that extract
them. Somewhere like download.com or Tucows.com would have one you could
trust.
