About the whole SMTP auth thing

Heh, actually I can't give feedback on this because my ISP, (Verizon), 
switched email severs over the weekend and now requires authentication >:P

No problems, it wasn't a big deal at all. No technical problems, just a 
confusing dialog. I'm sure if you updated the dialog to something that will 
make it clear to people what the problem is it will be okay :) Thanks!
