Alright! Sorry about that, I was just being irritable. No hard feelings, I hope.
I do think this patch has potential; there are, however, some places
where you don't strictly follow Haiku coding style (space after
if/while before the parenthesis, not sure on using "gID" instead of
"sID" since it's static, other minor things).
Does the mail setup support specific ports for POP & SMTP servers on
alternate ports, such as gmail? If so, I believe that is also
important to include (though that's only if this gets approval, of
course)
Even if it doesn't, I wouldn't mind seeing a maintained copy of the
program with this addition; user's choice, or even
distribution-packaged.
