thunderbird smtp default doesn't work

Hi
i have 3 accounts gmail/yahoo/and my isp which every account the right smtp setting and in the acount smtp i set yahoo like default

well every time i click write ,thunderbid uses the gmail smtp account

seem thunderbird it's dipendent to the left panel and select the first account every time i click write although i set yahoo smtp default


can you replicate this bug?

i use the last built
thanks

 

I don't use it as my main client any longer but just checked for you and i got the same thing so must be a bug.

This feature works well in the TrulyMail Client by the way

 

thanks a lot
i guess i will use trulymail , hope is there a portable vesion

 

hehe - wasn't trying to get you to switch Mantra - you could try posting your issue in the Thunderbird forums.

Yes, i have it residing in a truecrypt container on my computer and plan to move it into a Rohos encrypted partition on removable storage shortly.

 

You are switching setting default smtp in the wrong spot, for sending with different ones.

There is a section in the "account settings" main page, where you configure your signature, called "Outgoing server (smtp).Towards the bottom right above "Manage Identities". NOT the "outgoing server settings" where you set the smtp name,ports, etc...

 

Thanks for pointing that out Spiral as that does indeed work. However, since the option to "set default" is listed in the outgoing server settings section it still must be a bug.

 

no

really did not understand you!

you mean i should go in the gmail account ->outgoing server ->what should i set what default or another smtp for example my isp smtp

go in the yahoo account ->outgoing server and set the default or my isp smtp?


default does not work ! i 'm talking about the menu up the menage identities

 

Re: no

So you want all the mail from your 3 accounts sent through yahoo correct??

Go to "tools/account settings" and under "each account", click on "manage identities". Now click on the "edit" button and in the "outgoing server" box, select the "yahoo smtp". Again, do this for each account!

 

Re: no

no
i want to click write and use the default smtp
and the Spiral123's tutorial doesn't work at least to me

 

Re: no

Using the way i just explained, i sent a test email to myself from my hotmail account using gmail's smtp and it worked - too good it said the email was from gmail when i sent it from hotmail

 

Re: no

in short you set up for every account the same smtp ?

i don't want this
i want to click write and use the default smtp

 

Re: no

You have me soooooooooooo confuuuuuuuuuuuuuused

Ok - so are you saying that when clicking on the write tab, you want the email being always "initially" listed being sent from your "yahoo" account?? And now when you click write and the compose window opens, it always show your gmail address??

Well it might not be working to your satisfaction but that is easy enough to deal with in 2 ways:

- In the compose window where it shows your gmail address, just use that drop down box to change it to yahoo.

- from the thunderbird gui where it list your accounts and their folders on the left side, just click (as to highlight) the yahoo account before clicking on the write tab and it will bypass the default settings and open being addressed from your yahoo account
