Hi,

with the Balsa version 1.3.1, when you put a blank password in POP3 account
definition (Preferences-->MTA Server) and you try to verify this POP3
account, Balsa application freezes :-(

IMHO the POP3 password must be verified that it's not blank or when you try
to get your mails via POP3, a window must appear to enter password.

IMHO, the second proposition will be better because enter POP3 password in
"Preferences" is not good for security (possibility to use POP3 account if
the computer is stolen or used during your absence).

Thx, Foxy

I have tested the patch with the CVS version of Balsa. It works well,
good job, Pawel.

Thanks, Foxy.
