Title: Phone Crashed - any chance to get eMail Accounts back ?
Post by: Junkie on December 02, 2015, 09:00:39 pm

Hi there,

unfortunatly my Galaxy S5 crashed, i cannot get it to work again but i have a copy of all files from the Phone (no Backup, just a copy of the files) an the SD-Card. Is there any chance to get my eMail details back with the help of the Files from the Phone
like installing Aquamail on the new device and copy files from the old device????
I dont know all my accounts and passwords and it is a huge problem if i can´t get everything to work as it was.

Please Help !!!!

Regards,
Junkie

Nope. The messages are stored in internal data, not on the sd card (or what looks like one these days, and is actually also built-in).

Just to learn :
If you are rooted, where in internal data can you find am data?

At the usual (for Android) location(s).

The only thing i really need to get back is my user-details (used email adresses and passwords) as i am using IMAP the messages are on the Server.

Getting the passwords out of AquaMail's data storage is quite difficult, and it should be easy to see why.

"User security and privacy" is our motto here at AquaMail Labs Ltd.

Just kidding. But yeah, the passwords are encrypted.

I assume you know your email addresses -- and just need the passwords. Well, any email service should have web mail with a "reset password" / "forgot password" button.
