Thunderbird's Problem with Multiple Outgoing Servers
I am using thunderbird-1.5.0.9-8.fc6 in FC6. I met a problem in using it. I have two email accounts: one on Yahoo Mail and another on my company. So I also set up two outgoing SMTP servers, and specified that Yahoo outgoing server for Yahoo incoming server and the company's outgoing server for the company's incoming server. The default outgoing server is Yahoo. Ideally things should go like this: when I reply emails from my Yahoo account, thunderbird should use the Yahoo outgoing server, and, when I reply emails from my company account, thunderbird should use the company outgoing sever. And, when I composite a new email, it should use the default outgoing server which, as I specified, is the Yahoo one. However thunderbird seems pretty confused which outgoing server to use. Most of time, it uses the default outgoing server (the Yahoo server) to reply all emails regardless of where they are from. So the problem is that I don't want to use my personal Yahoo email to reply the emails from my company which should only be replied from my email account on my company. Both Linux and Windows version have this problem. Everytime I had to manually switch the outgoing sever to use when I reply an email. However both Evolution on Linux and Outlook on Windows don't have this problem at all. Therefore I am wondering if there are any solutions to fix this problem? Thanks a lot!
