If I'm overlooking the obvious, just slap me around... By preference, my outgoing messages are sent immediately, rather than held in the outbox for manual mass sending. Whenever I send a message (via SMTP server), I'm prompted for password. Is there a way to have my password remembered for the duration of the current session, only? I prefer to re-authenticate at the start of each session, but it's a bit much to re-enter the password for each sent message. . I didn't see anything in the Settings menu (I thought "Security" would be the place for stuff about passwords...), but I'm known for missing things that are right under my nose... it's a big nose... casts a deep shadow... :-) /kevin

Hi Kevin, From the menu bar - Settings->Configure KMail Select Network Select the 'Sending' tab Highlight the account your working on and select Modify Select the 'General' tab Type in your password in the 'Password' box Tick the option 'Server requires authentication' if it isn't ticked Tick the option 'Store SMTP password in the configuration file' Select 'OK' Select 'Apply' You should be good to go. hth, Ken

Ken, that wasn't a request. That was an order. <gdrh> Anyway, guys, thanks for the suggestions, but what y'all were pointing to is a permanent saving of the password in a file. I intentionally avoided checking that box. As I said, I'm ok with authenticating once **per session**. I just don't want to have to do it with every sent message, when I'm writing many messages per setting. Some browsers and e-mail programs have provision for holding a password in temporary storage (RAM) and applying it whenever needed **for the current session**. Then it evaporates when you exit. That's what I was hoping for, rather than a permanent entry in a config file. Thanks for your efforts. I appreciate it. /kevin

I just reread your msg and -now- I see what you were asking. That option isn't in the latest version of kmail 1.4.1 and I haven't found anything stating that it's planned. That would be a nice option to have, though. Ken
