The user passwords for Ipswitch's IMail servers are stored in encrypted form in the Windows NT registry.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Domains\yourdomain\users\)
Follow these steps:
- Click on start and then click on run.
- In run dialog box type regedit.
- Either press enter or click Ok button on the run dialog box.
- Then navigate to (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Domains\yourdomain\users\).
- Click on the user you want the password for.
- On the right you will see a bunch of entries. You want the data in the entry named "Password".
- This is their password in HEX form.
- Enter their username below. If their email is johndoe@domain.com, then their username is johndoe.
- Then enter their HEX password and click "Get Password".

"IMAIL password recovery is trivial."
Note about the "Not So Perfect" part:
Sometimes you will not get a complete word, the best example of this
is when a users password is "password". The output will actually look
like this: passwot
but you get the idea. Like I said... Not So Perfect, But Works Pretty Good!
