Details

When setting up several mailboxes (using the same outgoing mail server) it is sometimes desirable to have multiple users accessing the same SMTP server. It is impossible to tell them apart since only the name is shown in the selection dialog. THis can be remedied in two ways: 1. show the user name along with the server name (user@host.dom, or just host.dom if no username is specified) 2. allow naming of the servers
confirming this, because I've met this problem too. I had to work around it, by using an aliasname for the mailserver, but it wasn't easy to remember then. I would prefer the first solution, because that's very trivial to implement. changed platform/OS to All/All

is this anywhere on the priority list ?
Greting, all. I don't have the wherewithall to contribute to the resolution of the situation here with any expertise. I have no real experience with programming, and use only the pre-compiled builds. I do, however, use this product (TBird, sp.) on a daily basis, and find this problem very frustrating--so frustrating that I'm willing to assist financially: can I pay someone to resolve this? What would it take were I to do so? Also, in the meantime, if there is any other way I can help (testing, etc.), please let me know. Thanks for your work!
