132490 - Unable to specify new SMTP server in the "Account Settings" window.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[Ramesh]

In the email account settings window, I click the "Advanced" button. I only see
the "Default" server, and another which Mozilla imported from my Netscape
settings (which is invalid). I'm unable to change this setting, or create a new one.

Is this the advanced button on the SMTP server preference pane?  Or the advanced
button for one of your POP/IMAP servers?

It's at the settings window for my POP account. I believe that opens the SMTP
server preference pane. At present there are only 2 options: default server &
the imported one from my Netscape prefs. Nothing to edit or add to the present
options.

Right.

If instead you click the "Advanced" button on the SMTP server panel you get a
dialog that allows you to create, delete, modify SMTP servers and select which
SMTP server is the default one....

To account manager -- it would be a lot clearer if you could add new servers
directly from the POP account, as you say.

Sorry ... I was unable to find the SMTP server panel earlier. With the news and
POP accounts open, the "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" line looks like part of the news
account settings, which I ignored. This looks like another bug which I will
file.  This looks like this report is completed, as the question I asked is
resolved, except for the earlier suggestion by Boris for the ability to
configure the SMTP settings from within the POP/IMAP account.
