We’ve been installing a lot of Thunderbird Email programs and we’ve noticed that a few people don’t know their email passwords. Luckily, in most cases, we can recover them, and today we’re going to let you in on a little trick we use.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of “ifs” involving recovery passwords for email. It depends on what email program you use – or if you don’t use an email program, but use a browser to access you email.<\/p>\n
If you use an email program to access your email, then you’ll find Mail Pass View from Nirsoft very helpful. Keep in mind this may be considered a “hacking tool” by some antivirus and security programs. But since the one you’re actually hacking is yourself – it’s all good.<\/p>\n\n
Here’s the author’s description of Mail Pass View<\/p>\n
