311684 - changing the default SMTP server does nothing, the first server is always used

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 202468

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, defect)

Description

[Drew Gallant]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Thunderbid version 1.0.7 (20050923)

I have two SMTP servers in my list of servers:
(Tools -> Account Settings -> Outgoing Server (SMTP) -> Advanced)

smtp1:25
smtp2:25 (Default)

smtp1 is always used, even after setting smtp2 as the default and restarting the
application.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools -> Account Settings -> Outgoing Server (SMTP) -> Advanced
2. Add two smtp servers (smtp1, smtp2)
3. Set the second server as the default (smtp2)
4. Send a test message
5. Restart the application
6. Send a test message

Actual Results:  
--> smtp1 (the first entry in the list) is still used, even if smtp2 (the second
entry) is selected as the default, even after restart of application.

Expected Results:  
the default SMTP should be tried first.

workaround:
 modify the first entry every time you want to change smtp servers - a pain for
mobile users!
