Nice work, seems to be very usable. I like the combobox for the authentication 
method.

Two minor things:
- The port setting is there twice, which is confusing
- "Description" should IMHO be "Account Name" or just "Name", otherwise the 
  user will input a long sentence.

I'd say go ahead with the changes and make SMTP and POP3 look as nice as this!
