   Ah, I see that I should have been a bit clearer.   
      
   I have both the needed username and password, and currently have them   
   hardcoded in my "new messages" program.   But that means that when I   
   add/change an account I need to edit the program by hand. And as I'm lazy   
   (as all programmers are :-) ) I would like to skip that step, and have the   
   program retrieve that information by itself.   
      
      
   After posting my question I did some "googeling", and found that the account   
   data gets stored in the registry here :   
      
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager\Accounts   
      
   It holds all kinds of stuff, but the accounts password is not among them.   
   Although there is a "NNTP Password2" key present, its data doesn't live up   
   to it.
