Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 and multiple SMTP servers.

[Crocodil]

Hi

I wanted to use Ximian Evolution but unfortunatelly I can't get it to run Here's the topic:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1121988#1121988
maybe someone can help me with it?

Anyway, because of that I've decided to try Thunderbird. I have a problem though... I use 3 mail accounts, each has its own POP and SMTP servers. But Thunderbird only has one SMTP for sending mail and when I try to send e-mails from account different than the SMTP server, it doesn't work!

Is there a way I can make Thundebird use different SMTP server for each account?

Oh, and another thing... How can I download mail from all of my accounts at once?

Finally, if Thunderbird cannot use multiple SMTP servers is there a good GUI client that can?

Any help will be very much appreciated

Best regards,

Crocodil

"Is there a way I can make Thunderbird use different SMTP server for each account?"

First: tools->account settings -> Outgoing SMTP

Click 'advanced' and add the other SMTP servers.

Then: tools->account settings -> [account name] -> server settings.

Click 'advanced', then select SMTP and pick the one you want.

I haven't used it but the 'get all messages' extension is supposed to do that [I think].

Not a problem.

Go into Tools -> Account Settings -> Outgoing Server -> Advanced

Add SMTP Server and fill in the information, there should be one already from your initial account, so you should just add the remaining two.


Then go back to Account Settings -> Server Settings -> Advanced

Select the SMTP page and select the correct outgoing server , do this for each account.
