Once I had them stored only in the PM DB and needed them when updating
to a new one. I ended up TCP-dumping the get email connections with
Interarchy or if it was Net Tool Box, by making sure I connected without
APOP or SSL, so the passwords were sent out in clear text. I then
searched the dumps to retreive the correct passwords and other details.

Which illustrates why you want to use SSL or APOP, at least, when on a
PUBLIC network, which is typical for wireless or offices for example.
Your password and email details are available for anyone that wants to
listen.

You can read them from Keychain Access (if they are stored in the
keychain, which is the case if you are affected by the fact that PM 5.6
asks you to retype the password).

Second, it's rock solid. Hasn't crashed once (Entourage crashed
regularly). Third, searches are lightening fast, very impressive
facility. Fourth, it has a very nice filtering capability, at least
as strong as Entourage and probably stronger (my rules sets are fairly
straightforward). Fifth, it auto syncs with AddressBook without the
need for external scripts like in Entourage."
