"The 3.14.0 release implements a completely new password storage backend." Though I did not find a description in the manual for it (searching for password). Origin is a problem about a forgotten password and I have GPG installed/compiled according to the manual. In ~/.claws-mail/passwordstorerc the password should be saved though mine seems to be recv {AES-256-CBC,50000}LONG_AES_KEY... I guess this is GPG dependent, since a GPG key is used with this account. How does the decription work? Can I do this manually as well? I cannot configure the email accounts to not encrypt the passwords. Is this behavior intendend? A notion/hint would be great.
Hi, the encryption scheme is described at http://git.claws-mail.org/?p=claws.git;a=blob;f=doc/src/password_encryption.txt If you have not set a master passphrase, you should be able to decrypt the saved password using this information, since it is encrypted using a static key, selected at compile time (defaults to "passkey0", I don't think anyone ever changes this). I am closing this, as this is a bug tracker, not a discussion or help forum. Please use a mailing list (http://claws-mail.org/MLs.php), or come visit us on IRC channel #claws at FreeNode instead.
