Hi there,

On my Thunderbird installation I run two identities with different SMTP servers. One is a private SMTP server that works fine, but since the last Update the other Gmail connection does not. Although smtp.gmail.com is set up as mail server for my Gmail-identity and my password works well on Gmail, Thunderbird has me enter my password for a zillion times when I want to send an email and says it does not work. In addition to that it seems that although I'm writing under my Gmail identity Thunderbird wants to send out through the private SMTP server connected to the other account. What can I do?

In the account settings both SMPT servers are tied to the correct email address.
