Outgoing SMTP on Multiple Accounts FAIL
I'm new to Thunderbird. Using v 31.0
I have multiple email accounts hooked in, all with separate outgoing SMTP defined. They all work ... and then they don't.
What happens is that regardless of which email account I use to send a mail, the SMTP changes itself back to the Default, which will not work unless I'm on that default email account.
I go to the specific account Settings, and sure enough SMTP is set back to Default. I change it. I can send my email.
I go to send another and this process repeats itself.
It's incredibly problematic to have to manually specific the SMTP every single time I want to send an email.
Why is it forgetting its individual account settings?
How do I fix this?

Are you using on or are you using several identities for the accounts?
Each account can have several identities using a specific SMTP server each. Make sure they are set to what you want.

Ah, aha. It was the Manage Identities button portion that was missing for me. That cleared it up. Thank you.
