Wow, that was fast again... :)

However, I'm not so sure about the 2nd part anymore, the username at server:port
column.
While for email gurus it might be absolutely clear, for average users it might
be confusing that username at server looks like an email address but is something
else.
The cases where it is completely different (such as
u15823 at smtp.someprovider.com), are not my problem. But sometimes it will be
quite similar (such as montel at smtp.kde.org). In these cases it will be very
confusing for newbies.
Therefore, we generally might not want to use this in the UI.

The solution would be two separate columns for username and for server:port,
with the additional advantage that the accounts can be sorted by server.
Another solution would be to start with just a server:port column which will be
just enough information in many cases.
