Hello,

I'm in the process of changing my EMail-address and ISP.
So at the moment I need several EMail-addresses and - worse - two
different SMTP-settings.
While the first address and SMTP-sever  has been set up in mahogany all
the time and works nicely, I have big problems to set up a second set.
I'm using mahogany on Linux (using the 'latest'-tar-ball from the
evening of Sept. 15. and wxwidgets updated to head of cvs trunk at the
same evening)
Note that I'm using outbox ! (I suspect this to be part of the
problem)

What I did:

- I set up a further identity. (I use several with different quotes
  and reply-to but so far all with the same server)
- Problem: 1 The high of the settings-dialog can only be made a little
  bit smaller than the "default". So the buttons on the bottom get
  covered by the KDE-bar.
- On the "Network" page I enter the address of the SMTP-server.
  The server uses TLS with password and name. So I enter the name
  (leaving the password empty to get asked)
  The sever is one of those broken exim-servers, so I enter 'PLAIN' in
  the list of protocols _not_ to use.
- Problem 2: After "ok"-ing the box and reentering, the string of
  protocols not to use is empty again.
  (This effect doesn't happen for the "global" setting)
- Problem 3: I had sessions where mahogany constantly popped up dialog
  boxes. (E.g. the select-box for the "Sent-Mail" folder) _below_ all
  other windows. (Funnily enough this doesn't happen at the moment :-(
- I compose a mail, using the new identity and put it in the outbox.
  If I look at the message there, the mail-address etc. seems ok.
- Problem 4: I go online and try to send my mail out. But mahogany goes
  the the SMTP-server set in the global setting and there - sure
  enough - fails with the mail with the "wrong" sender-domain.

Any tricks to circumvent those problems ?
Is there another, better approach to using more than one SMTP-server ?

TIA

Martin
