I agree with this in principle but I'd like to see a few additional
changes while we're at it:
1) Convert these password prompts to markup strings and make the
user and host names bold, so as to distinguish a hostname "dot"
from a full stop.
(e.g. "Please enter the IMAP password for mbarnes redhat com ")
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Bold
2) Use consistent wording. I prefer for previous example over:
"Please enter the IMAP password for mbarnes on host redhat.com."
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^
