Daniel, Dennis and W3BNR In the past, both with Hughes and WildBlue accounts, I have set up a primary account with 3 auxiliary accounts (aliases). Currently the SeaMonkey settings for my primary account and each secondary account (alias) has it's own incoming and outgoing server specified - the same ISP server with the account's user name. The current outgoing server is the same for all of the new accounts, "smtp.gmail.com", with the user name of each account included, i.e. <[email protected] - smtp.gmail.com>. The primary account is designated as the "Default." In the past all of the accounts would use the current account user name as the "From" address regardless of which account I used and I didn't enter any "Reply-to" address nor did I use the "Manage Identities" feature. Additionally, I must say I don't understand what the "Manage Identities" feature does nor do I know how it works. By the way, I can get to these account settings the same on the Mac as Linux, or just using the left pane, select a user, then select the action in the right pane. I have changed the outgoing server setting for all accounts from "Default" to their own individual server, i.e. <[email protected] - smtp.gmail.com> and this has failed for all accounts - SeaMonkey would slap my fingers "Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent using the SMTP server for an unknown reason …". I vaguely remember, in the past, there was a SeaMonkey feature that allowed this (but they recommended against doing it) but now I can't find it. This could also be my faltering memory. I have created email messages in the primary account and also in the auxiliary accounts then changed the "From" setting at the top of the composer window to an auxiliary account address. When received the "From" was always the primary account address and the "Reply-to" was the auxiliary account user name I used. As I have stated, all emails look "normal" when I check the "Sent" folder, but when received, the "From" address has reverted to the primary account address. My son suggested I switch from SeaMonkey to Thunderbird and Firefox to see if that handles the problem. I also feel that there is some button in the WildBlue environment that has an effect of this. I dunno. philmat11 _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
