Well, Dario, use mutt.

mailboxes pops://USER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
set pop_pass= "SOMETHINGLONGISHNOTINADICT"
set smtp_pass="SOMETHINGLONGISHNOTINADICT,POSSIBLYDIFFERENTFROMPOP"
set smtp_url ="smtp://USER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

# if you've multiple email providers, you need to outsource

# don't forget to reset it to your defaults when you leave

account-hook USER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 'set pop_pass="SOMETHINGLONGISHNOTINADICT";'
folder-hook USER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 'source ~/.mutt/profile.PROVIDER'
# and place the above set smtp* lines in .mutt/profile.PROVIDER.
# the mailboxes statements can remain global for use with -y,
# and the pop_pass line can be removed, as the hook statements
# provides this on entering the USER@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
