Mozillas mail client is not very useful for me, because I use a lot of different
mail-accounts with different smtp-servers.
there should be an easy account-management like in outlook express. I need
different smtp-servers for all my mailaccounts.

Er... you can do this just fine.  In mailnews, go to account settings, outgoing
server, and click the advanced button.  Set up a bunch of SMTP servers.  Now for
each account, click the "advanced" button near the bottom of that account's pref
panel (to the right of the "Compose messages in HTML format" checkbox).  Then
you can set what SMTP server that account should use.

Marking invalid.

Hanno, do you have any suggestions for making it more obvious to associate
different SMTP Servers with an account? Just curious.
