Usually yes, and Gmail knows how to use both so if you create a message in Gmail's webmail and tell it to use the ISP return address, it submits the message through the ISP's mail server. I consider that a feature. As others have noted, if you're going to put all your account's mail into your Gmail account anyway, there's not much reason to hide the password. What are they going to do with it that you haven't already asked them to do?
