Copy password for Thunderbird and inbox monitor

While setting up the mail on my new laptop I realise I have forgotten my mail account password. I cheated and just copied the saved encrypted password from my old laptop settings.

For mozilla thunderbird it’s in

mailbox://user@popserver
\=username=\
~
*\=password=\
~encrypted_password=

For gnome inbox monitor applet its in

<entry name="remote_encrypted_password" mtime="1092305305"
schema="/schemas/apps/mailcheck_applet/prefs/remote_encrypted_password" type="string">
                <stringvalue>encrypted_password=</stringvalue>
</entry>
