Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 170089

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

When more than one SMTP server is specified, the "default" has no effect - the
first server in the list is always used.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add two SMTP servers to the list of servers (under advanced) - it's easier if
the first one is invalid or inaccessable.
2. Set the second server in the list to be default
3. Compose and send a message - if the first server is inaccessible, you'll get
an error.

Actual Results:  
Error contacting the first server, even after second server was set as default.

Expected Results:  
Used the default server (#2 in the list)

See Bug 222388.
Set "Always Use Default (SMTP) Server" at "Server Settings"/"Advanced" for the
accounts manualy.

[HUI, Arion (Mr)]

In the "Advanced Outgoing Sever (SMTP) Settings" dialogue box, NO matter which
SMTP server is set default, always the first/top SMTP server in the list is
used. Fail as a different ISP is used.
