If today's builds are good to use (won't know until later), I may try to find time to install today's builds on the lab machines so we have this fix for the bugorama. Or, if it's ok with you Sol, we can leave the builds installed as is since we're already set up on the 9 machines. Let me know.
Build 2000-02-15-09M14: NT4 It looks good on NT. Will check Linux and Mac next.
Build 2000-02-15-09M14: NT4, Linux 6.0 Wait, I just tried this again on NT and Mac and it's not working. - I created a new profile using qatest20 (POP) as my first account, Outgoing SMTP=nsmail-2 - Added another account using qatest33 (IMAP as my second account Outgoing SMTP=nsmail-5 Results: Account Settings Outgoing SMTP panel still shows "nsmail-2". Even after reopening Account Settings.

so more details on this: what's happening is that if you visit the smtp page, it's caching the current value of the smtp hostname in an array...then you go create an account and the account sets the ACTUAL value of the SMTP hostname....when you hit OK in the account manager, the cached value overwrites the real version which you just changed.
ok, this is now WONTFIX due to bug 28246 28246 means that you can't change the SMTP server if it's already set.
