I was wondering if anyone nows how the password is stored & encrypted, by Windows Live Mail, in this type of files. I know that the file can be imported and then use a software to reveal the pass behind the *****. But I want a more direct ("easy") approach.

I wish I could answer this, but I am not sure. However maybee you could help me out with a question of my own. Where are the files for Live mail found? I know that there has to be a auto complete similar to NK2, but am not sure where this is stored or where the mail store is. I would apreciate the help. If I find anything on cracking the pass I will let you know. Thanks! )

Vista "C\Users\HERE_GOES_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\"
XP "C\Documents and Settings\HERE_GOES_USER_NAME\Local configuration\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail"

Settings are stored in each folder, in a file called *.oeaccount

But I want to know how pass is stored on *.iaf files.

edit1 Found a way around using perl.
use Win32OutlookIAF;

my $file = new Win32OutlookIAF;
my $src='Account.iaf'; //Example of iaf file to be read

local $/;
open(INPUT,"<$src") || die "Can't open $src for reading $!\n";
binmode(INPUT);

$file->read_iaf(<INPUT>);
close(INPUT);

# forgot your POP3 password?
print $file->POP3UserName();
print $file->POP3Password();

There are a lot of options in the Outlook module.

Thanks for the update. I still need to learn how to use pearl as it seems to be a powerful language. I apreciate this and hopefully will be able to put it to use. Thanks again, and I'm glad you found a way around it! )
