Well, that's not my intention for now at least. I'd like to avoid the user the
need to retype the password. Verifying the password will be the task of the
MySQL server.

I just noticed that Kmail actually does what I want with the POP3
configuration. One has the chance to save the password locally, and the
password is stored encrypted somehow in kmailrc.

I think I'll have a look at how kmail does it....

Thanks for the help,
