You can use a password cracker. No legitimate e-mail from a large webmailing corporation can be accessed easily though.
are there any that actually work?Quote:

You might be able to friend them on Facebook (Or try lureing them into giving you their facebook if you don't already know it) and then finding out the answers to their recovery questions, or you could social engineer them. (E.g. if the recovery question is "What was the name of your first pet?" you be friendly with them and then go "Hey, so do you have any pets or anything? (:" and see what they say. Lets say they say yes. Then you go "Oh, was that your first pet?" and they'll either say yes, and then you have the answer, or they say "No, my first pet was a frog" or something like that, and you go "Oh really? What was it's name?" and then you have the answer!)
But, besides that, cracking passwords and all of that jazz isn't really possible for most professional email sites like Yahoo and Gmail and stuff. Your only other option besides social engineering is to phish them. Send them an email saying "Hello, I'm Steve with Google Support, and we believe your account has been compromised. Please go to this link and fill out your current information so we can determine the integrity of your account" with a link to your phishing page that looks like a real Google form. Then, when they fill it out, the information is saved to a text file wherever you hosted the page.
But, for the most part, hacking people's email addresses is a hassle and not worth it. Unless they ruined your life or something like that, or it's a really big deal.
(Also, out of every single email provider ever, AOL is the easiest to hack. If they have one, the recovery questions are insanely easy stuff found on facebook. Stuff like "What state do you live in?" and "What's your zip code?", lol.)
Isn't that just a brute forcing thingQuote:
