1763829 - Cannot specify distinct logins for same SMTP server

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1752104

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Alex Andrews]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:98.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/98.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have two separate email accounts at the same domain, let's call them ac1@domain and ac2@domain.

Each account uses the same SMTP server, smtp.domain, but each account uses a distinct login, ac1@domain or ac2@domain, and each had a distinct password.

Actual results:

When I set up the two accounts in Thunderbird, they each get given the same SMTP server details, ie either "ac1@domain - smtp.domain" or "ac2@domain - smtp.domain".

And so only one account will work at a time - I have to keep switching which SMTP server details to use depending on which account I want to use.

This is not a problem when using different domains.

Expected results:

It should be possible to set distinct SMTP server details for accounts using the same SMTP server.
