Where is my SMTP passowrd stored in PMail?

It won't help to know since it's encoded, you can only retrieve it from a log file which can be enabled via the respective checkbox down on Tools > Internet Options. PM's help file will tell you about where to find the log-files if running its latest version.

I have forgotten where it is stored

Are you needing to change it in Pegasus Mail or have you forgotten it and are trying to retrieve it from Pegasus Mail. If the latter, Michael is correct that it is only recorded as part of an internet session log but is encoded.

The encoded password is in the PND files.
lines like
Password : SEED$9999:"XX#<0"


That isn't real password, changed SEED and change the encoded letters, and even it was not from a real account, but a test account.


If you click option to create a internet log file, it will created files in TCPLogs that will show password in decoded form, so usually not good to leave them around. At least change or delete it after looking. Not sure what encoding method is used, probable something with openssl or perhaps Mr. Harris has his own algorithm. I have option with my disk-imaging program to allow for encryption, but just use aespipe with a pass-phrase, but just creating internet log will show it, if you have forgotten it.


Hope that helps.
