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... :-)

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
