hi, I have two email accounts at foo.com and bar.com. They have different passwords. Receiving mail is ok - but for sending, only the password for one account is used in both - the password for the first account gets changed to that of the second account when the second account is set up. How can one overcome this without having the same password for all accounts? Or is a bug?

This should work 1. Create separate Kmail>Identities user1, user2 2. Create separate Kmail>Accounts user1@foo.com, user2@foo.com. This will let you create two separate POP3/SMTP logins. 3. Map Identity user1<> Account user1@foo.com and Identity user2<> Account user2@foo.com ( see special transport check post from one of your previous post). 4. Repeat above for accounts on bar.com

didnt work - smtp password for foo gets changed to that of bar. And, now I remember other people also have been bitten by this bug. So you need same password for all accounts - and if you have valuable and non-valuable accounts, you are screwed.
and even when special transport is enabled kmail doesnt have the brains to use the correct account when replying.

Over the year I have come across unexpected KMail behaviour even though the settings suggest things should happen otherwise. At times forcing creation of a new ~/.kde (backup the original ~/.kde) has helped.
You can give this a try.

Please write a bug report if above does not work.
