This is precisely what I am asking for exmh. For the mail>nail program I place
it in ~/.mailrc; sylpheeed, thunderbird and evolution have provisions for
SMTP servers which need authorization.

So where is the the place and exact commands for nmh to put the uid and
password.

I have a wireless broadband connection and recently the base station was 
reset to default denying any of my mail to go out. The so called
"technical staff" of the BB operator does not know how to reset the base
station in order that I can again send mail. Now a friend gave me the SMTP
server address of his company which requires this uid and password. This
works now well with the above mentioned programs, however, not yet with exmh.
