Yep. It appears you might need to configure the e-mail account to
authenticate to the SMTP (outbound) mail server. You then get a dialog
asking if you want to reuse the same login credentials as for the POP3
server or to specify different username and password. If the POP3 and
SMTP servers that you use in that e-mail account are from the same
e-mail provider, just reuse the login credentials from the POP3 server
for the SMTP server. Otherwise, you enter whatever is the appropriate
username and password for the SMTP server.

The reason why you might authenticate with different login credentials
for the SMTP server is that, for example, you send your outbound e-mails
using one SMTP server from one e-mail provider but yank your inbound
e-mails from a POP3 server from a different provider. I do that with
Gmail and Yahoo. I yank POP3 from them but I push SMTP using my ISP's
SMTP server.
