<p>Passwords for remote mail accounts are not usually saved,
and they must be entered every time when opening the account.
The “<span class="quote">Master Password</span>”
option on the main menu replaces all remote account passwords
with a single master password. The master password must still
be entered every time when starting <span class="application">Cone</span>. However, all other remote mail
account passwords are saved, and used automatically. The master
password encrypts the file where remote mail account passwords
are saved. The master password also encrypts imported
<acronym class="acronym">SSL</acronym> certificates (they are
saved together with remote mail account passwords).</p>
<p>The master password may be changed at any time, by selecting
this option from the main menu. Answering “<span class="quote">Y</span>” to “<span class="quote">Remove
master password?</span>” deletes all saved passwords, and
mail account passwords must, once again, be entered each time
when opening remote mail accounts.</p>
<p>A master password cannot be recovered, once forgotten. The
only available option is to remove the master password. All
saved passwords will be lost.</p>
