And what's your problem? Set your various SMTP servers under Edit | Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings | Outgoing Server (SMTP), then set 'em under Edit | Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings | [account] -- Advanced. > Also have one central inbox for all the address unless I make a folder > and rule.. hate having a seperate set of folders for each address.. *shrugs* That has to be one of the /stupidest/ designs I've ever come across, and using filters seems to be making a virtue of necessity. I think the current set-up is a pretty well-established design decision -- altho', as has been pointed out elsewhere, it is one that favours IMAP over POP.

Seems to for a lot of people, anyway. . . . /b. > rc -- Mozilla end-user questions should be directed to: * snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.general * snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.win32 * snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.mac * snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/netscape.mozilla.user.unix Note that you need to have SSL enabled and the port set to 563.
