Are you sure that you have SMPT settings for both profiles, and that both of
them work correctly (in other words, if you start from scratch with that
profile, does mail sending work OK?

yes, both profiles have separate smtp settings - one has an australian yahoo
smtp setting and the other (my partners profile) a Japanese yahoo smtp setting.
The only difference in the settings is that while mine ends in .com.au the other
ends in .co.jp
Both smtp settings work 100% every time if the profile is started from scratch -
and fail 100% every time if called in the same session that a profile has been
switched.
To test I created a new profile with an smtp setting from my isp but I still see
the same behaviour in the new profile.
