Lost Email Passwords Recovery Software

You can call the software email passwords recovery, or email passwords hacking. The difference is in the purpose of obtaining the information. If it is completely legitimate to restore your own forgotten passwords, it would be reasonable to call that recovery. If you for some reason want to learn somebody else’s password, that already smells bad, and can be considered hacking. Anyway, the coolness of the software is not based on its purposes, but on set on the information recovery availability and reliability. And it is your responsibility to use it for the right purpose.

As you might guess, since the review appears on this blog, this valuable piece of software is freeware.

All the passwords for your email accounts are stored in either an encrypted format or in plain text. Mail PassView is able to reveal the passwords and account details for the following email clients:
  • Outlook Express
  • Microsoft Outlook 2000 (POP3 and SMTP Accounts only)
  • Microsoft Outlook 2002/2003/2007 (POP3, IMAP, HTTP and SMTP Accounts)
  • Windows Mail
  • IncrediMail
  • Eudora
  • Netscape 6.x/7.x
  • Mozilla Thunderbird
  • Group Mail Free
  • Yahoo! Mail - If the password is saved in Yahoo! Messenger application.
  • Hotmail/MSN mail - If the password is saved in MSN Messenger application.
  • Gmail - If the password is saved by Gmail Notifier application, Google Desktop, or by Google Talk.

For each email account, the following fields are displayed: Account Name, Application, Email, Server, Server Type (POP3/IMAP/SMTP), User Name, and the Password.

If your email program is not supported by Mail PassView, you can still recover your password by using this Password Sniffer.

Mail PassView is also available in many other languages. In order to change the language of Mail PassView, download the appropriate language zip file from the website, extract the 'mailpv_lng.ini', and put it in the same folder that you Installed Mail PassView utility, and you are good to go.

NOTE: Due to the character of the software functionality, some Antivirus programs produce False Alerts notifying that the Mail PassView utility as infected with Trojan/Virus. You can be sure that the software is perfectly clean and harmless for your computer.

Top 45 Free Alternatives to Windows Explorer

A file manager is a computer program, supplying a user interface to the files related operations. The most common operations on files are create, open, edit, view, print, play, rename, move, copy, delete, attributes, properties, search/find, and permissions. Some file managers provide network connectivity. This is achieved either by allowing the user to browse for a server, connect to it and access the server's file system like a local file system, or by providing its own full client implementations for file server protocols.

The standard built-in Microsoft Windows application - Windows Explorer - provides a graphical user interface for accessing the file systems from the early versions of Operating System. However, it is so basic that the software market is filled with freeware and shareware utilities, offering better performances and functionality to replace it. Some of the utilities are portable, and do not need to be installed on the Hard Drive, but work from USB or slave.

I want to present today a Rating List of the 45 best Free File Managers that can successfully replace the lagging Windows Explorer. They all offer different sets of features and graphic user interface. Trying to find that one which better suits your needs, just make a mental inventory and list the features you would like to see in your “dream” file manager. Than review descriptions and pick one that fits your description the best. All utilities are provided with brief description, review, and downloading links.
