Only one outbound mail server is useless.  Every location I go
to I have a different identity and a different outbound mail
server.  This aspect of Mozilla is so debilitating that I must
go back to Netscape.

Note that I do not read my mail with either Netscape or Mozilla
at all locations -- that, too, is very variable.  The only reason
any of this matters is that Mozilla/Netscape is the most convenient
method to attach a binary file, and, again, I need a different
mail server at each location.  My current consulting practice is
about 15 different locations, all different in mail form.

This is a no-go failure for Mozilla for me, unless of course I am
merely lame and can't understand the preferences panels I have
to deal with.

Yours,

Verified Invalid.

I hope that the SMTP Server design will change soon so adding an smtp server and
associating it with a specific account is more obvious.
