Build Identifier:
Using hand inserted imap and smtp after some digging with manaage idenities
you can send and for each gmail account i must clone smtp server
add a dash of yahoo smtp
add a bit off hurry and walla
anyohow most email clients you can define a default SMTP server all well and fine.
however since i the IMAP GMAIL profile dosent come on thunder bird yet.
(i like IMAP VS pop since i can keep in Sync and bounce and bounce
laptop @ home Desktop @home
Server room in the office ; office workstation etc.
Microsoft Outlook one may define a smtp server as Default
my perticular gripe is with security enabled servers I'd like the option to make more than ONE defult SMTP server
(account user22@foo.com )=(default smtp=smtp.foo.com) (pop/imap=*) (smtp auth=pop/imap auth)
outlook can have per account a default but in a pinch you can switch to the sytem Master DEFAULT
or one the well over spamed public smtp relay servers.
just I hate having to use the idenity mager to select smtp gmail-(user id) etc
if it was an option to overide smtp server on account creation I'd just specify
thus the smtp server gets added but only single copy but the acount settings are specified as such.
Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.clean install of thunderbird
2. easily forget you have to make smtp clones of gmail if not using imap on a secured server i/e gmail-yahoo
3.next try to really rush to send an important email and wonder why it rejects then go doooht then see that the idenity manager sets up the acount smtp
Actual Results:
simply had to set up smtp aliases per acount with user id in them
irritating since outlook at work has that option buit in to the account setup wizzard at home was forgetting the ui quirk on thunderbird.
Expected Results:
wish list can FORCE specific options on smtp per account from the get go.
I/e rather handy
hell let me add the smtp settings for a secured account in to said account .
thus

SYNOPSIS SPECIFY ACOUNT SPECIFIC options for smtp on CREATE account
for its rather Eassy to forget the IDENT manager rounte as other email clients you can Specify pop smtp and locl mailserver/Groupware (OUTLOOK) to dump the profile mail and seetings as a backup
anyhow it would make it a Tad easier with some email carriers or enhanced security servers. HUSH-MAIL being one of them YAHOO GMAIL

Michael, can you clarify what you're asking for here? Here's two of my best guesses...
1. You want to be able to specify multiple SMTP servers to be used per account you set up so that Thunderbird tries to fail-back to other servers on the list if the first ones don't work. (Bug 52384)
2. You want to be able to create a new SMTP server option on account creation so you don't have to go in and create a new one through the account settings panel.
3. Something else...?
