Atomic Mailbox Password Recovery is an intuitive software solution with a pretty self-explanatory name. It provides you with a convenient method for retrieving forgotten or lost passwords for various e-mail client applications.

The actual recovery process is just a matter of pressing a few “Next” buttons, due to the wizard-like interface. Thus, one of its advantages is the ease of use, which makes it suitable for both beginner and computer literates.

The application comes with support for some of the most popular e-mail clients, such as Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird,The Bat! or Eudora. However, if you are using a less known program, you do not have to worry at all, since Atomic Mailbox Password Recovery acts like a POP or IMAP server and connects to the target application, in the attempt to recover the stored password.

In order to retrieve the password, you only have to follow three simple steps. First, the used e-mail application must be selected from a list. If one of the popular clients is selected, then the program automatically displays a list of the restored account details, username and passwords, enabling you to copy the data to the Clipboard using the right-click menu.

On the other hand, if another mail client is used, the application requires you to configure the connection first. In this case, you have to enter “127.0.0.1” as the POP3 or the IMAP4 server address in the mailbox account properties and check for a new incoming message.

Atomic Mailbox Password Recovery initiates a POP3 or SMTP connection with the e-mail client and requests the login username and password. The obtained mail account details are then displayed in a table.

Atomic Mailbox Password Recovery promises to work with any e-mail client, provided it supports the POP3 or IMAP4 protocols. If you forgot or somehow lost your password, you might want to give this application a try. It does not put a strain on the computer’s performance, the response time is good and our tests did not reveal any hangs or freezes.
