I use thunderbird and I use many mail account. I can add accounts and mozilla fetch mail from differend accounts well, but I can send only from one server. This is very uncomfortable becouse I reply for mails and want to reply from different accounts to different people. There is option to add another smpt servers after clicking advanced button but it doesn't help. Any ideas?

You might be confusing couple of things, If you have setup multiple email accounts...you can still use them to send email regardless of how many different smtp servers you've got...although one is more than enough.

To send email from a different account, when you go to compose/forward etc. you'll notice in that window the from field has a drop down menu, from that menu you can select whichever email address you want to send the email from.

I've tried this and I thought it would be working but if I have secified one smtp server and trying send from another account I gets:
Code:

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <some@mail.org>:
Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences adn try again.

When I change outgoing server in preferences to the server from witch I want to send mail all is working. So the summary is that I can only use one account to send outgoing mails and this is very very very uncomfortable. This makes thunderbird completly unuseable for me.
