I need to configure separate credentials for pop and smtp servers

I've tried several times to create an account which requires completely different credentials (userid/password) for the pop and smtp servers. I only get to specify one password, which seems to become associated with both the pop and smtp servers. My sends always fail. I can see how to specify a different username for the smtp server but there is nowhere to enter its associated password.

It would usually ask for the smtp password the first time it is needed.

My bad.

I kept trying to send the same message from my drafts folder. After I created a new message, and hit send, I was prompted for the PW and was eventually successful.

Thanks very much.
