If your users use pop3, you could record their pop3 user name and passwords, since they are transmitted in clear text. Some pop3 servers can even log the username-password. That would get you most of the users, depending on the time frame (as some users will be away-dormant etc).

If they are not the same function you could always dictionary and brute force attack the passwords. In my experience this should get you most of the passwords. The ones you dont get you may have to have people assign a new password for themselves. I know it is not pretty, but if worst comes to worst.
