Hi James,
What you say is correct. But :-) ...
you would already have set up all your accounts to use a specific SMTP
setting. So all you are actually doing when choosing the account to
send with, is which account information will accompany your email. If
you want to use say not your work SMTP, but your home SMTP, you would
then have to change the information...
:-(
It would really be great to have this easy to switch SMTP function in
Evol that they are using in TB, I would then def. switch permanently to
Evol.
Good Luck with Vista... I switched to Ubuntu Feisty at the moment (I
have to much problems with my ATI graphics card in Gusty) and I am very
happy. I am playing with Windows in VirtualBox at the moment, as I only
have a few things that I still need in Wondows... (Endnote being one of
them as I need to CWYR).
Cheers
Danie

Hi Bob,
The only reason why I am sticking to TB and not Evolution is that I
use 3 "service providers"...cellphone, exchange, and home DSL, so it
is very easy to switch between the 3 SMTPs in TB (change which SMTP to
use for sending your mail), it is just a tab/drop down menu with your
choices (pre-setup). Just go to Edit, Account Settings... At the
bottom of your Default Identity you can choose any of your setup
Outgoing servers (SMTP). Just click on the down arrow and a drop-down
box appears with your choices... select the relevant one and
send/receive your mail on all your accounts. No need to remember all
the settings for each SMTP (server name, UN, PW, etc.)
Maybe you know of a way to work around this problem. This is one of
the cons I guess...

I use both Evolution (on a Linux system) and TB (because I recently got
a new laptop so I'm using Vista until it pisses me off enough to go back
to Linux)
ANYWAY, both of them are easy to switch the service provider to send
your mail. When creating a new message both have a drop down in the
From: section that you can select any of the configured accounts. Maybe
I misunderstood what you meant.
James
