Forgotten email password.

I'm resurrecting an old G4 450 and have forgotten the email password. It's operating OS 10.5. Does anyone know if there's a way to either discover or change the password?

Keep in mind the password is registered by the email host. If you know the administrator password of the Mac,

and if the host has webmail access, a web browser may have had an email login stored on it in its preferences.

If the email host still exists they might be able to help you reset that password.
