    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.

    Contact the maker of whatever email client application you used to
    create that encrypted *.IAF file for assistance.

    Well, as it's an OE "export account data" file extension, this most likely
    is a place to ask, as I don't think MS is helping in decrypting such
    personal data

    Is it an OE file? (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.
