Latest Miranda version stores this account file in SQLite database format. It contains database table called “dbrw_settings” where login details for each messenger protocol are stored.

Here are some of the interesting fields stored in this table,

module - messenger protocol (AIM, GG, JABBER, Yahoo etc)
setting - setting name (email, LoginName, password etc)
val - actual value

Miranda messenger uses proprietary encoding algorithm to store in the above file. Also it uses slightly different password encoding for storing different type of messenger protocols.
