I've got Outlook 2003 and got a POP3 mail account set up. However I want to
do a fresh installation of Windows and will lose my account details. I do
not remember my password and was wondering how can I retreive my password
for the "Logon Information" and also "More Settings | Outgoing Server"
passwords. Since the passwords are in ****** format. I assume the passwords
are stored in Outlook files encrypted right?

"Revelation", free from http://www.snadboy.com/ should solve the problem
