How do I set a different smtp server for specific accounts in the email client. All my accounts use the default and I dont see where I can create a new smtp server with the necessary user/pass and add it to the list when you click on "advance" in the Server Settings on a specific account. tia.
The info below is based on my copy of the Mozilla Suite 1.7.12 which should be close enough to Netscape 7.2. (Others will post to correct me if this is not true.)
Open up the Mail component of NS 7.2. Click, in the toolbar at the top, on Edit|Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings. In the left pane which lists all of your accounts, scroll down until you find (probably at the bottom) "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" and click on that.
Now at the right, you will see all the settings for the "Default" outgoing mail server. To add a new account, click on the "Advanced" button in
this section. A new window will open that lists all the outgoing servers. You will find, among the buttons here, one labeled "Add." Clicking on this should be what you need.
BUT, once you create your new account, go to
its "Server Settings" and click on the "Advanced" button
there and choose the outgoing server whose settings match that account.
Post back with any other questions. I'll be gone for a while, but others can answer your questions.
