I heard about not bad application-microsoft outlook password recovery, this application know how recover forgotten or lost passwords for *.pst files created in various versions of the Microsoft Outlook mail client: Microsoft Outlook 97 - Microsoft Outlook 2002 and Microsoft Outlook 2003, can save the configuration of Microsoft Outlook identities to a plain text file. All settings of mail accounts, including the settings of IMAP and HTML mail accounts, will be saved to this file and some other features.
