Recovering a password from Mailwasher

Sun Dec 11, 2022 4:19 pm

Somehow got screwed in my email program but Mailwasher still has the working PW. Is there any way to access it?

TIA

Yes, that is no problem, its in the incoming tab for the email account in MW, just click the eye icon as per below screenshot...

Not seeing that as an option in my V7 Pro SW. Check for updates but when it connects, I end up getting an "Access Denied" error message.
Subscription is Lifetime so I'm scratching my heard

Excellent... replied with the below (removed personal details) for anyone else with the same issue.... :)
Great, thanks for those details and yes, that version does not have this option, however I recommend that you first backup your MWPro settings by clicking Help>>User Files, save all files and folders in the folder that opens to another location for backup.

Then install this version

http://cdn.firetrust.com/downloads/mail ... _12_67.exe

Then you should see the eye icon for your password.

Note that if the above version runs fine on your system, AND you are not using windows XP, you can then update to the latest version from here:

http://cdn.firetrust.com/downloads/mail ... 12_102.exe

Note that this uses a newer .net version which some users are finding a couple of issues with, and it wont run on XP.
