I set `mail.server.server4.userName` in config editor, but didn't see an auth prompt. Do you by any chance have set `mail.server.*.always_authenticate` to true?

> The UserName pref has no real purpose on an NNTP server and should therefore not be set

Some servers require auth.

~Some servers require auth.~ You're right userName is not used in the code.
