Is this worth a bug report or is this an expected behavior of Kontact/Kmail?

[stakanov]

When you have a POP3 account and you e.g. loose your password, after the 
password reset, a new password is asked when you check for mail (as the first 
try obviously is not successful). This is good, because it makes it easy for 
the user to change the password. When the user changes the POP password the 
coresponding(!) SMTP password is however NOT updated. 
The error message is then confusing because when you send mail now, you get 
is: 
server error, message could not be sent. 

While the error is on the users side, and should be IMO "password or username 
wrong". 

As I see it, there are two bugs: SMTP should update when POP password is 
updated. (can be bug or enhancement) 
The second is the error message that makes it impossible for the not well "IT 
educated" standard user to understand what is going on. This may cause 
unnecessary helpdesk tickets and therefore I consider it a bug. 

Could you please (to avoid unwanted reports) indicate me, if this is instead 
expected / wanted / necessary behavior?
It would also be nice if you tell me (in case it is a bug) whether I should 
report to the distribution (in this case opensuse Leap15) or to KDE bugzilla. 

Thank you.
