I don't know if SMTP passwords are saved.  I'm only aware of login passwords
being saved.  One of the alpine guys will confirm that SMTP passwords should
be saved too.

My standard suggestions:

1) try on a new local user -- if they are saved there, then there is
something 'funky' in the original user that's preventing the passwords
from being saved.

2) I just checked, on my Leopard-based system, and the alpine keychain items
are actually in BOTH my 'login' keychain and my 'mattack' keychain.
I think that is due to a conversion from Tiger -> Leopard but I'm not 
sure.

If there are any alpine items (search for alpine in Keychain Access, the
account will be "UWash_Alpine_Prompt_For_Password" in either keychain,
try deleting them or moving them to the other keychain (I'm not even sure
if it allows you to do that).

These are total guesses.  I had a problem like this during the development
of Leopard (I know you're on 10.4), but at some point it went away.
I've never been able to reproduce it again, and haven't figured out whether
it's a keychain or alpine problem.
