I wouldn't call it news, try googling for "Outlook Express Password
Recovery" and you will find numerous commercial solutions that
programmatically give you the password. It's stored in a key called
Password2 under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account
Manager\Accounts\00000001 where 00000001 is the account number.

The same applies to Outlook and any other mail application that allows
the user to store their password locally. Since POP3 and SMTP are
plaintext protocols the login credentials need to be stored in a form
that can have them decrypted.
