Details

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041103) Within Account Settings, Outgoing Server (SMTP), Advanced, when you add a new SMTP server, you should be able to give it a name. By default, it names it the "Server Name" followed by a colon followed by the "Port", for example "smtp.gmail.com:587". However, this naming convention is not flexible enough because I could have two accounts that use the same "Server Name" and "Port", but use different login information. For example, I have two gmail accounts. They both use the same "Server Name" and "Port", obviously, yet they each have differnet logins. This is important because gmail will actually save a copy of the sent message in the sent messages folder that is sent though their server. The copy of the sent message could be placed into the wrong account with the current naming convention. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
