Description
===========
Mail Password Recovery allows you to recover your email password for any
POP3 account, as long as it is stored in an email program on your computer.
You just need to temporarily change the settings in your email program , so
that it connects to Mail Password Recovery instead, and your password will
be revealed. Mail Password Recovery works by emulating a local POP server,
your email program hands over the password when it connects, and Mail
Password Recovery will show it to you. Only works with email
accounts/passwords that have the login information stored in your email
program (Outlook Express, Eudora etc.)


System Requirements
===================
* Windows operating system: Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. 
* Some of Visual Basic 6 libraries
