Has abyone been able to get Thunderbird to use two SMTP servers??

I've entered all the settings properly in accordance with the ISP's requirements and I've checked through Google and the Moz forums but I can't find out why it won't send e-mail to the new SMTP server.

Anyone else had any similar problems???

Thanks

Re: Has abyone been able to get Thunderbird to use two SMTP servers??

There are two settings in Thunderbird that affect the SMTP server.

The first one is under Edit -> Account Settings -> Outgoing Server (SMTP). Here you can add and remove servers and set the default one. This is the global setting for all accounts that use the default value.

The other setting can be found under each account in Edit -> Account Settings (You have to click on the account name, which should be right above "Server Settings" next to the - and + signs). Here there is a dropdown list for choosing the SMTP server for this individual account. It is usually set to use the global default, but it can be changed to another SMTP server.

Thanks CursedMonkey.  Turns out there was a problem at the ISP.
