I believe while most time mail server will use the same password for POP, SMTP and webmail, but it's also possible that they don't
Note. I can't assure that this statement is 100% true, but since some SMTP server even allow anonymous login for sending mails, then it would be possible

as I said earlier, you might want to call the helpdesk once more and ask them for the SMTP settings for literally "any" phones. once you get them, it's quite easy to adapt them to your N900 mail settings

or if you feel adventurous, try messing with the setting yourself. pick either None/Login for Secure Authentication, or pick TLS/SSL/None for Secure Connection, change SMTP port to 587/465/25. basically just try anything that's related to mail sending and see if it works
