If you use that email also on a mac:

In the mac start the Keychain application (In Applications/Utilities), then clcik the "login" on the left above, and the "passwords" on the left below: search the email on the right side, rightclick (CTL+click) that email, choose "copy password to clipboard" -it will ask you for the account password in the mac- and click "allow", now the password is visible in normal characters in the clipboard, paste it to a textfile and there you have it.
