    Hi. I have a new machine with windows 7 ready to go but do not especially like Windows Mail. Thought to checkout Thunderbird - loaded on current XP machine to import settings from Outlook Express.

    However I am unable to edit the outgoing server settings, I get a drop down box with a selection of servers but cannot change details.

    This works for at least 3+ ISP's with OE6
    me@server1.xxx sends by smtp.server1.xxx
    me1@googlemail.com sends by smtp.googlmail.com (with SSL settings etc)
    and so on - most smtp servers require that authentication using incoming user and password

    I need to use the smtp server corresponding to the email address that I am sending from to avoid spam rejection difficulties.

    How can I change outgoing server settings
