Ric - I would happily do this if I were being asked for a password but I
am not. Let me explain what I have tried. On finding that I could not
send an email I went to Edit -> Account Settings -> Outgoing Server
(SMTP) -> Edit but there is nowhere there to enter a password. I must be
missing something so obvious that I cannot see it.
