Is it a known but that the outgoing SMTP user ID is always set to the same as the incoming even when set differently?

I'm trying to figure out where to report this: I keep noticing that when I setup a new account and I set the incoming and outgoing user names differently, the outgoing one never is honoured; it always sets it the same as the incoming one and I have to manually go into the outgoing settings to change it. Just wondered if this was known, thought it might be worth reporting.

please file a bug in Bugzilla.

I can not see this one listed, but it looks to me like the behavior may well have been introduced with Bug 8396652

Please post a link here to the bug, so I can follow along.
