Well, my HO differs a bit from your HO :), in that I think the _main
thing_ which defines an account is still POP settings (or IMAP, where
relevant). Look, we call it "a POP3 account". What we get from our
ISPs, as far as e-mail is concerned, is, first of all, a POP3 mailbox.
Well, they provide us with SMTP servers, too, but somehow I don't feel
it to be such an "integral part" of an account. _SMTP server is also
optional._ (One thing to support it is the fact that you can create a
POP3 account _without_ any SMTP server at all - e.g. to receive some
mailing lists to a POP3 mailbox created with that single purpose,
etc.)

Hope you get my point, even though you certainly may disagree with it
:).

As I said already, I know how to do that (since long ago :) ). I
simply found it not very convenient, logical, etc. (See above.)
