Outgoing Mail Improvements

These problems were observed on WordPress 4.9.2:

1. Administer/System Settings/Outbound Mail should keep track as to whether the password has been edited. By doing so the user can be notified if the password has suddenly changed without the user's knowledge. The "authentication error" to a layman does not automatically tell them that the password is invalid. I have run into this problem several times now when I have changed the port number and/or changed PHP versions. The Easy WP SMTP plugin, for example, does not change the password when the port number changes or when you change PHP version changes.
2. Consider moving the Administration of Mail accounts i.e Server, SSL, etc. from Administer/CiviMail/Mail Accounts to Administer/System Settings/Outbound Mail. Leave the "Used For" portion in CiviMail. My client uses the same account in both sections and one has to know/remember that the password needs to be updated in both places. This is not very user friendly. Also, changing the CiviMail password is not listed as one of the reasons CRON may not running. The prefix "mail." was added to the server name in CiviMail which in this case is wrong. Moving all email administration to Administer/System Settings/Outbound Mail will eliminate a lot of confusion.
