I am going to migrate my TB from POP3 to IMAP. When I look at my account settings in TB, I have two POP3 accounts, and one SMTP account - all for my email provider. Each of these accounts has a password (all the same) that look like they have been generated by "machine". Not sure where they came from, but they are there. I do not use these passwords to access my email on my desktop on a day-to-day basis, so I am not sure what they are for. TB does not ask me for a password when I start the app.

When I set up my IMAP account (using the "File/New/Existing Email Account" feature) I will have to configure the IMAP account manually - no issue with this - I have the IMAP and SMTP account settings from my email provider. However, when configuring the IMAP and SMTP accounts manually (may not have to do the SMTP account, since it already exists), it asks to create a password. This is what I am not sure about - is it the same password within TB for the POP3 and SMTP accounts described above, or is it a separate password that has to be generated? Does it make any difference what password I use? Thanks, Doug

First, the email id associated with the SMTP server is the one that sets when the sent message is filed. Generally, if a person has two email ids, they will use two SMTP server setups (even if for the same server) to ensure that each account's messages remain separate. I suggest you revisit why you have just one. Second, some email providers (such as Gmail) provide a system-generated password. Knowing which email provider you use may cause more information to be provided for your situation.

Thanks. Not really worried about the SMTP server. I have two POP3 servers - one is a Rogers server and one is a Yahoo server. Rogers uses Yahoo as for their email infrastructure I guess, and for some reason I have two servers listed, but only one of them gets used (the Rogers one, since my email is with them). Still not sure how the passwords for these servers were generated - I know I didn't create them, and if TB is asking me to create a password, I would not have created the type of password I see in my POP3 and STMP accounts. Thanks again. Doug
