Default How to find out pop3/imap password for Outlook account?

Hi,
I am developing a tool (part of outlook add-in) that has to use
existing Outlook (XP/2003/2007) pop3/imap account(s). It is easy to
work with all Outlook account information using MAPI, except password.
Unfortunately I don't know how to find out password for particular
pop3/imap account. Did I miss this functionality in MAPI?
Other known way to access pop3/imap password is to read registry value
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles\%profile_name%\9375CFF0413111d3 B88A00104B2A6676\00000002\POP3

Password
But I have no idea and can't find any information about how to
decrypt this registry value.
Could somebody give me an advice or code sample or documentation about
my question?

Best regards,
Alex Furman
