![]() ![]() Since the password was stored in my email client, there were chances that I could retrieve the password from it. Then I thought of retrieving the correct password using my Desktop email client. I couldn’t think of any way to retrieve the correct password of my Gmail account. I didn’t note the password of that Gmail account anywhere so I was clueless. Gmail server asked a few tricky questions such as date of account creation, last access time, etc but I couldn’t remember any of them so I was unable to reset the password. Then I tried to reset the password using forgot password link provided by Gmail server but I was unable to reset the password as I didn’t enter any mobile number or alternative email ID at the time of registration of that Gmail ID. I was sure that the password was correct but Gmail server was not accepting it. When I tried to enter the password, it was reported as incorrect by Gmail. Today I needed to log into that Gmail ID using a web browser. I added one such Gmail ID in my Desktop email client “ Windows Live Mail” long time back. Today I faced a very unique problem! I use a few extra email IDs to register at online forums, websites, etc. ![]() When we add an email account in a Desktop email client, we save our email ID and password in the client so that it can automatically log into our email account and send/receive emails. Also you always have a backup of your emails in your Desktop client. Using dedicated Desktop mail client is easier and better than web interface as you can use them offline and type and save emails to send later. Personally I prefer Desktop email clients to web-based interface provided by email service providers. Don’t use this information to access a system which is not yours without permission.
