Not really - it's a classic example of a bad UI, because practically
nobody gets it without outside help. (Had me stumped, too until I
stumbled across it in the manual.) The POP3-authenticate box should be
labled something like "encryption", because that's what it controls:
When checked, SimpleMail tried an encrypted POP3 login, which most mail
providers don't support. Whereas the SMTP-authenticate box really does
control whether it's using SMTP authentication or not.
