167296 - smtp with multiple accounts on free mailer

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 158099

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

Description

[schlupp]

I have multiple accounts by one freemailer (gmx) and multiple mail-account in
mozilla. also I have multiple smtp accounts.

- in advanced outgoing server settings I have the same account name for all
(like "mail.gmx.de:25"). I suggest an alias for every account 

- when I compose a new mail and I select an mail account ("from" choicebox) so I
get an error popup "an error occurred while sending mail. the mail server
responded: {xxx} sender address does not belong to logged in user. ...." mozilla
should use the correct outgouing mail server settings for selected  account.

Just like in:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119609
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151774
I cannot understand why it wasn't done right at first place, give the ability to
set an smtp server+username+password under the account settings instead of the
global smtp settings.

Reporter: Is this still a problem with a current Mozilla build? I also use GMX
and multiple accounts and it chooses the right outgoing server for a different
From (note: you have to use different outgoing server accounts, since GMX
requires authentification to fit the From from the account).

This is DUP of Bug 158099.

I think this is one of best descrition for "multiple SMTP use" currently available. 
Choose "correct SMTP" or "Always use default SMTP" for the account(or identitiy).
It is not impossible, although it is difficult due to Bug 158099, all SMTPs have
same label, and due to Bug 202045, order of SMTPs changes from time to time :-)
Workaround can be choosing "Always use deafult SMTP server".

Anyway, closing as DUP of Bug 158099.
