Well, no, not really. By definition, an "account" is really just a
particular POP and SMTP server. All the rest, IMHO, is optional. If
you want to change the SMTP server, set up another account and select
it by right-clicking on the account name in the status bar. I change
accounts in TB! all the time and find it very easy to do. Also, as you
undoubtedly well know, the account name is a macro (%ACCOUNT).

One annoyance with changing accounts via the status tray is that it
will reset the "From" address to whatever's in the selected account's
"Properties" -> "General" -> "From Address", thus overriding anything
in any of the contact's templates. (In principle, resetting a
macro-configurable field should chain through all the templates that
might contain that macro, but TB! doesn't always bother with that.) If
anyone knows a work-around, please share it.

regards, Andy
