This is fine. But I was expecting this to mean that > same password is remembered and used for SMTP send, but it isn't.

Well, yes and no :) It's the same password value, but they're two different password entries. When if you leave the entry blank you're asked for the password, but that entry is still blank (can't be other way, otherwise your configuration would be changed!), hence the sending mechanism sees a blank password, and asks again. IOW, it's literally the same user and password you _set_ for receiving, not the same user and password you _input_ for receiving. You can think of it as the password at configure time and the password at runtime. Nevertheless I understand this could be an interesting feature, though not really know how difficult to implement, so I'm forwarding this upstream to get more input. thanks for reporting, -- Ricardo Mones ~ The world will end in 5 minutes.
