I don't understand what you mean. How does this have to do with connecting 
to the (probably-not-running) IMAP service?

Not mine either.. ;)
I'd like to avoid having the user type in a pw every time. Outlook doesn't 
seem to need that, so, unless that's unsafe, why should I? Or could I get xp 
to 'remember' it? Btw, Outlook does ask permission if you try to, say, read 
the body of message.

Anyway, the approach I suggested earlier (pw encrypted using key) is 
probably unlikely to solve the security issue, either. I mean, if the key 
itself (or a reference to it) is in my code, then anyone reading that code 
can decrypt it, right?
