Hi,

After getting the V3 back on, I can confirm that there is no special
setting for smtp auth, the V3 does it by itself as long as the pass is
the same than your pop/imap account and your server advertises auth and
accepts PLAIN method. I must admit I never tested with port 25, only
587, maybe the V3 does some differencing that way.
