Then you're in the wrong place. When running SM Mail and Newsgroups, go to Edit -> Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings... This will give you the Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings dialog. In the tree view on the left side of that dialog, scroll to the bottom and you should see an entry named: Outgoing Server (SMTP) Click on that. Now, on the right side of that dialog will be a list of outgoing servers (of which there may only be one in your case). Select one of them and then click on the Edit... button. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
