I am happily using roundcube (IMAP - read) in place of the yahoo resource hog webmail.  But SMTP authentication for sending mail fails.

I cannot seem to find a place where I can set/change the authentication values of SMTP (needed for yahoo - I set them in my standard email clients).  Any ideas?

You can change the SMTP in the main.inc.php file, look for $config['smtp_server'].

Ok - well that works (having password in plain text).
// SMTP password (if required) if you use %p as the password Roundcube
// will use the current user's password for login
$rcmail_config['smtp_pass'] = 'NotMyRealPassword';

This seems a bit risky - will this eventually be moved into the sql database (not save but not plain text)?

If the password is the same one that you login with you can use %p.
