Well let me rephrase. I miss being able to run “SMTP Location” I have a PowerBook, about 15 email accounts and 3 different locations
which all have a different SMTP.

SMTP Location is a special case. Apple have dropped Location Manager from OS X: it doesn't work in OS X native or in Classic. So that script will never work again. There is a very primitive "Location" aspect to the Network System Pref, but System Prefs are still not scriptable in OS 10.1, and may never be. I may be able to adapt the script so that when you open Entourage, you can just run the script to tell it which location you've switched to, and it will take care of all your settings. It could even provide you with a list of your Locations that you have pre-entered, so all you have to do is click one item to select. That's the best that can be done done, but it will still save you a lot of trouble. I'll send it to you to try in Classic when it's ready.

Classic Location Manager still works, but only if you change the file type from ‘APPC’ to ‘APPL’ (which was a file type that just told the Finder to put the program into the “Control Panels” folder).  It still doesn’t solve the problem of no Location Manager for X, but at least Classic can still use the Location Manager even under X.
