You can try creating an email log file: http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/710/ (for incoming mail)

If you're lucky, your password is sent to the server in plain text, and it would appear in the log file you create (don't forget to turn off logging once you're done).

I'm pretty sure it doesn't appear in the log anymore (so you don't have to find-n-replace it before submitting a log).

It used to appear if it's sent plain text

I don't think there's a straightforward way left if the log file no longer shows the password (which is actually good, because a password is supposed to stay hidden).

How about asking your email provider if there's a way to generate a new password? They usually send you an email with a link in it to the mail address that someone wants to change the password for. By clicking link you show that you actually have the right to access that account, and allowed to set a new password

You could install your wand.dat in an older Opera that did show the username and password in the mail log file. Not sure how the login info for the account is tagged in wand.dat though. But, if the mail account you set up in the older Opera is the same account number with the same servers, same name, same username etc., it might work.
