Forgotten email password
I'm running Mint 13 on an old laptop. I need to make alterations to my email accounts but I've forgotten/mislaid the passwords. Is there a way to retrieve this info please? I think that I've been told a "Show password" function but can't remember how to do it. I know what my main admin password is as I obviously have to use this to get updates etc.

Re: Forgotten email password
Which software are we talking about?
Alternatively, can you ask your email provider?

Re: Forgotten email password
How that? Mint 13 doesn't get updates since nearly 1 year. Urgent time to upgrade the system, which has more security holes as you can count.
Besides that I think, that only the mail provider can help.

If you're lucky your mail password is in the password manager of your browser or mail client
