How do I get my Outlook mail working again if I cannot generate a new password. I accidently added a folder under the inbox and when I tried to delete I could not. I then lost connection to AOL and could not connect to pull my email. I went to generate a password but I keep getting this feature not available right now.

How can I get my Outlook to pull my email from AOL again?

    BD,

    Sorry, but I've never tried the password recovery (either the paid version, or the free one), but from the PR blurb for the paid one, it sounds like it works with all versions of Outlook, and it gives you all the passwords that are saved. If you Google "outlook email password genius from isunshare", it will lead you to their site, and give you a better idea of what it can do. Hope that helps.

    Thanks George,

    This works with office outlook desktop software too? Just to clarify. I inadvertently put my normal password in. Will it recover the previous password that was overwritten?

    There were two answers (hope they help you.

    Jeff Morrison1:

    I had the same issue. Had the generated password setup for me and my 5 kids accounts but never documented.

    I found a software call outlook email password genius from isunshare. It's 15 bucks but was well worth it for me. It gave me the passwords and I was able to setup our new accounts on a different laptop.

    There was no way in hell I was spending the time switching emails to avoid going to AOLs crappy webmail.

    Michail Wilson:

    The possible solution to recovery for your outlook is if you still have it 'stored'. Meaning, if you previously setup AOL email to work with Outlook, your computer will have it stored in data.

    That is, you can run a program which will recover all stored passwords in outlook. So, if you had AOL or Yahoo or any other ISP which you previously stored in outlook, you can run that program and it will show you all of the stored password.

    That program is called mailpv (which is free); however, a virus scanner will show it as a virus/malware. I mean, it's going after stored passwords and the only reason a program will do that is if a hacker is trying to recover them. They don't consider the fact that it might be you trying to recover it. heh.

    Also, you can do the same type of thing to recover stored Wifi passwords. Like, if you're at a friends house and previously stored the wifi password, even though you're not at the friends house, you can still recover it since it was previously stored on your computer.

    I missed the answer. How do you recover the previously generated password?
