Even better than what I suggested, doing a lot more with the same identity mechanism. I think it often is the case that "when I work on this project, I send e-mail as this user to talk with that server to send e-mail, and that server happens to talk smtps so use that", and a single "identity" setting is a good way to capture that. Very nice.
