Greetings;

I have trolled thru the configs but haven't managed to find a way to link the Identity used to send a mail, to the Mail transport used to send the msg. Since I have an account at the tv station at least as long as I live, I have used that old & overloaded qmail server since I helped install it 16 years ago.

But shentel has now set up a new server of their own after about 2 years of excedrin headaches caused by farming it out to gmail, and of course I have an account there because its my ISP and phone company too.

In the folder properties, one can set the sender Identity, which works well, but to use the 20x faster shentel server when I am using a shenetl ID, I have to manually select it from the pulldown on the right.

Can this not be linked to be automaticly selected according to the folder I launched a reply in?

If not, its a future feature request.

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

Hi Gene!

I do it this way:

• create a new account for "Sending", (e.g. "outgoing")
• create a new identidy, let'c call it "test"
• edit properties of this identidy ("test"): "Modify ...", 3rd tab "Advanced", check the checkmark in the last line "Special transport", select the former created account for sending (e.g. "outgoing")

Now your account uses the "outgoing" for sending.

An other thing I usally do is assigning a mail account to the folder, so it ist' automaticly chosen when I hit new mail or reply: - right clock on the doomed folder

• "Poperties"
• "Sender Identidy" - select your identidy (e.g. "test")

Looks like it works, thanks again Nik.
