I once asked this question on another list. Someone sent me a small program that could de-scramble it, but that was several boxes ago so I no longer have it. But I found it here with a quick google: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2001/debian-kde-200105/msg00079.html Which contains: <QUOTE> > Is there somewhere in a config file for kmail I can find it? > surely ... .kde/share/config/kmailrc - but it's sort of encrypted. the encryption looks like unciphered_char = 287 - ciphered_char. you have the latin1 ascii encoding table at hand? *g* no, seriously. compile this tiny program: -------- snip -------- #include <stdio.h> int main() { char buf[100]; int len, i; while (fgets (buf, sizeof(buf), stdin)) { len = strlen (buf) - 1; for (i = 0; i < len; i++) putchar (287 - buf[i]); puts(""); } } ------- snap -------- run it, paste the encrypted password from kmail into it and have fun with the password. hth greetings </QUOTE> This might have changed, but it worked for me. > Saluti, Mauro. > -- > On this laptop no Windows system survives and LINUX POWER reigns UNLIMITED. > GnuPG key ID: 28A61681
