It doesn't require any installation process or additional DLLs. Just run the\r\nexecutable (mailpv.exe) and watch the list of your email accounts. You can save the accounts information into a\r\ntext file or copy them to the clipboard.\r\nGetting email passwords from another instance of Windows ?\r\nMany people ask me whether it's possible to extract the email passwords from an external instance of Windows\r\nthat cannot boot.\r\nFor now, Mail PassView can only retrieve the passwords from external drive for Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape,\r\nand Eudora. It's possible that external drive support for more email applications will be added in the future. In\r\norder to do that, you must go to 'Select Folders/Files' window (F6) and manually select the right folders in the\r\nexternal drive.\r\nhttps://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mailpv.html\r\nPage 7 of 10\n\nNotice: If the filename contains one or more space characters, you must enclose it with quotes (\"\").\r\nTranslating Mail PassView to other languages\r\nMail PassView allows you to easily translate all dialog-boxes, menus, and strings to other language.\r\nIn order to do that, follow the instructions below:\r\n1. Run Mail PassView with /savelangfile parameter:\r\nmailpv.exe /savelangfile\r\nA file named mailpv_lng.ini will be created in the folder of Mail PassView utility.\r\n2. Open the created language file in Notepad or in any other text editor.\r\n3. Translate all menus, dialog-boxes, and string entries to the desired language.\r\n4. After you finish the translation, Run Mail PassView, and all translated strings will be loaded from the\r\nlanguage file.\r\nIf you want to run Mail PassView without the translation, simply rename the language file, or move it to\r\nanother folder.\r\nFeedback\r\nIf you have any problem, suggestion, comment, or you found a bug in my utility, you can send a message to\r\nnirsofer@yahoo.com\r\nMail PassView is also available in other languages. In order to change the language of Mail PassView, download\r\nthe appropriate language zip file, extract the 'mailpv_lng.ini', and put it in the same folder that you Installed Mail\r\nPassView utility.\r\nLanguage Translated By Date Version\r\nArabic Abo Rehaam 18/07/2014 1.81\r\nArabic الحسني ماجد Magid Hussein 02/10/2007  \r\nAzerbaijani Anguerde 02/03/2018 1.85\r\nBelarussian Agnessa Petrova 18/02/2018 1.85\r\nBrazilian Portuguese Andrei Bernardo Simoni 31/08/2018  \r\nBulgarian Plamen Penev 13/06/2005  \r\nBulgarian Alexander Dichev 02/03/2009  \r\nCatalan Victor Comas 26/05/2008  \r\nCroatian malimaks 20/10/2007  \r\nCzech karelmrak (7.1.2008) 16/01/2008  \r\nhttps://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mailpv.html\r\nPage 8 of 10\n\nDanish Jonas Stumph Stevnsvig 12/06/2012  \r\nDutch Jan Verheijen 17/12/2025 1.93\r\nFrench Largo 16/12/2025 1.93\r\nFrench Eric FICHOT 15/09/2020 1.91\r\nFrench Skorpix38 (june 2016) 28/06/2016 1.86\r\nGalician Xosé Antón Vicente Rodríguez 10/05/2008  \r\nGerman «Latino» 16/12/2025 1.93\r\nGreek geogeo.gr 04/11/2014  \r\nHebrew peterg 01/06/2011  \r\nHebrew Handelsman Sagy 28/01/2005  \r\nHungarian Timinoun 23/03/2026 1.93\r\nItalian Alessandro Viscone e R.B. 27/11/2025 1.92\r\nItalian Andrea Carli 23/10/2015 1.85\r\nJapanese coolvitto 26/12/2025 1.93\r\nKorean EcLipSe 09/04/2007  \r\nKorean KIM JaeGeun 10/10/2005  \r\nLithuanian Igor Gubaidulin 20/03/2010  \r\nNorwegian Asle Leknes 11/12/2017  \r\nPersian DinoTechno 10/03/2022 1.81\r\nPolish Hightower 18/08/2011 1.77\r\nPortuguese Rui Morais 07/11/2007  \r\nPortuguese Brazil Mark Nascimento - Bambuí 02/06/2005  \r\nRomanian Jaff (Oprea Nicolae) 30/03/2013 1.80\r\nRussian Dmitry Yerokhin 17/12/2025 1.93\r\nSimplified Chinese DickMoore 03/10/2020 1.91\r\nSlovak František Fico 11/01/2026 1.93\r\nSlovenian Jadran Rudec, jrudec@gmail.com 05/01/2021  \r\nhttps://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mailpv.html\r\nPage 9 of 10\n\nSlovenian Andrej S. 10/11/2004  \r\nSpanish Ignacio Arrímarlo 11/06/2013  \r\nSwedish Göran Helsingborg 10/07/2019  \r\nTaiwanese 臺灣共和國 Republic of Taiwan 21/06/2009  \r\nTraditional Chinese Danfong Hsieh 25/10/2015  \r\nTraditional Chinese York Mak 03/05/2015  \r\nThai Natthaviroj Kaephukhieo 13/10/2012  \r\nTurkish HARUN ARI 22/08/2011 1.77\r\nUkrainian Sergiy Sekela 31/10/2007  \r\nValencian vjatv 24/03/2008  \r\n  \r\nSource: https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mailpv.html\r\nhttps://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mailpv.html\r\nPage 10 of 10",
