Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 222388

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

When creating a new Account, the default SMTP Server will be used for this
account. Thats ok, but in the account server-settings (advanced) the smtp server
is not set as "always use default server" its just the name of the smtp-server.

Problem: When you have to change your SMTP Server (Accounts - SMTP), it didnt
work for the current POP3/IMAP Accounts. You have to change the SMTP Server in
every single POP3/IMAP4 Account (acounts-server-settings-advanced). 

Thats not very logical... i hope u know what i mean ;)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change the (global) default SMTP Server


Actual Results:  
1. Non of the current accounts have the new default smtp set.

Expected Results:  
1. The current account should automaticaly set the new SMTP (in default)

You didn't state which version of TB you were using when you encountered this 
problem.  I have in fact seen the same thing with TB 0.7, but I just tried with 
TB 0.8 and did not get the duplicate entry, so I'm not sure what's going on.

OK, u are right! A TB 0.7 problem. sorry i forget the version number :-/
With 0.8 there is no problem (a new account have automatically set the default
SMTP).

Actually, I was mistaken when I tested earlier -- the symptom you're talking 
about is still present in TB 0.8, as I noted at the dupe.
