Dan,
        Actually, wouldn't better behavior be that it makes a dialog which
looks like this?:

 ------------------------------------------------------------------
| Enter Password for KirseAtCvc                                    |
|                                                                  |
| ? Unable to connect to POP server mail.viborgnet.dk.             |
|   Error sending password: -ERR /var/mail/.srv0332-03.pop         |
|   lock busy!  Is another session active? (35)                    |
|                                                                  |
|   Please enter the POP password for srv0332-03 mail viborgnet dk |
| [********                                                      ] |
| [X] Remember this password                                       |
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [ OK ]                     [ Forget Saved Password ]  [ Cancel ] |
