> It was the other way around. Not having Incoming. Since I can't make the
second account -not- have an incoming part it fails each time on trying to
connect and receive mail, since the server name is empty. (I guess I could
add the same POP3 in the second account, unless they're checked in
parallel.)

Otherwise it would just blow up the user interface because you need a way
to add single chains again, this was missing before too...

What was not possible in the past was to add another chain to an existing
account, right?
> Having disjoint setups isn't unthinkable at all. Even in the normal case
with a single In/Out account, the POP3 and the SMTP are often not provided
by the same entity. E.g. SMTP via your broadband ISP, POP3 or IMAP via
Google.
I still think its not a very common case. The default user would just have
a simple google, yahoo,... account. What do you think about just keeping
everything as it is but add a right click menu to the account list to
enable/disable the incoming or outgoing chains? A disabled chain would
simply not be shown in the list but could be enabled again in the right
click menu.
