When defining the Outgoing SMTP Server, why does specifying the "default" SMTP server not work, but only the first server specified?
I have several options for SMTP outgoing server. I set one to default and try to send. it fails and uses the first one in the list.
I restart Thunderbird and try to send. It uses the first one in the list.
I eliminate all SMTP servers from the list but the one I want, and it works.
What am I missing, this I have observed this problem on all of my systems for a long time?
Regards,
Carl

what your missing is that account have an SMTP sever associated with them, which if your "in" an account over rides the "default"
Right click an account folder and select settings. Click on the account name in the settings and on the right is a drop down list and the "default" smtp for that account.
