You can always use my PWDer application to extract the password. It works 
by having you change your POP server temporarily to 127.0.0.1 then run 
PWDer's password extract feature. When you attempt to collect your email, 
it talks to PWDer instead of your mail server, and records your username 
and password.

Certainly not as nice as the drag and drop method the bug in v2 let you 
do, but it is an alternative.

BTW:

PWDer's Password Extraction does NOT work with Eudora. Eudora has a 
"feature" that if you change the POP server, it throws out your password. 
Since you need to change the POP server so that it talks to PWDer, you 
loose the password in your attempt to get it.

It also does not work with Entourage. I'll blame it on a bug in Entourage 
because I can find no logical reason for it not to work, and when I 
attempted to discuss the issue with Entourage developers, they got so far 
as me explaining what was going on, and then proceeded to ignore any 
further emails from me on the topic. They just pretended I didn't exist. 
So I have to go under the assumption that I pointed out a bug and they 
were too much of a bunch of jackasses to admit it and they just hoped I 
would go away if they ignored me (which I did, so I guess they win). I 
chalk it up to yet another reason not to use MS products.


Of course, a good old packet sniffer will work for any email client (so 
if you have TCP Watcher or Interarchy or anything like that you don't 
need any other tools).
