No prompt.  Nor does there seem to be any way just add the data to
the Passwords file.

OK, try this (assuming you know your SMTP username and password):

Go to <chrome://passwordmgr/content/passwordManager.xul> and enter "comcast" (no quotation marks) in the search window at upper left. You should get a list that includes an entry with the SMTP data. Select and delete it.

Rationale: The next time you try to send a message, SM will have no userid or password to send to the server, so it will HAVE to prompt you for the info. Enter the data and check the box telling SM to remember, and that should solve it. If you get it wrong, you should get an immediate error message inviting you to try again.

Do be careful to adhere to Comcast's policy as to whether you should enter your full email address (joegw...@comcast.net) or just the prefix (joegwinn) as your username. Different ISPs have different preferences.
