I have a dilema.
I have forgotten my password to a mailserver and its stored in my keychain and in Mail. I need to set it up on another mac, but have no way to get it today.

Is there a way to see the cleartext of my keychain? I have admin privs on my Powerbook. I just need to see the actual passwords protected by the keychain.

Go to /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. Then in your user keychain (it will probably appear automatically), find your mail server in the list. Click on it, click "Show password" and enter your admin password. The password will then appear in the bottom box.
