This will produce a flurry of support calls, as home users in my experience 
never remember their own email passwords unless they use webmail and have to 
enter it each time, in which case that users email would be useless to you.

I install copiers for a living now, and by far the biggest snag, even in 
corporate environments is determining how to communicate with the company’s 
email server correctly. Any number of things can go wrong, from Exchange 
Connectors not being configured for that particular device, to ISP’s blocking 
access to foreign SMTP servers.

As “simple” as Simple Mail Transfer Protocol was supposed to be, it is ANYTHING 
but simple in this day and age.

For home users, maybe you could use AppleScript to extract the configuration 
from their Mail app at startup, and if necessary ask them to confirm the 
details (you probably have to ask them to confirm the password even in the best 
case);
