User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; iOpus-I-M; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (Windows/20041206) Tools, Account Settings..., Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings, Advanced. Delete button grayed-out for default server. If Thunderbird were changed to allow deletion, and set the default to the top of the remaining list this would be an improvement. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set an SMTP server as default, in a list of >1. 2. Attempt to delete it. Actual Results: Delete button is grayed-out. Expected Results: Delete button is available.
If there are more than two servers in the list, the software may select the wrong one of the remaining list to be the default; not only is the user now required to check the result, and possibly manually select the server, but there is a chance that the erroneous selection will be overlooked. I think it's better UI to force the user to select the new default first.
