gmx does not allow you to use a From field that's different from the account
e-mail address you're using to authenticate the SMTP server. The gmail SMTP
server, on the other hand, does allow you to do this with Thunderbird, IIRC.

That's what I figured. But if I set the SMTP to gmx and the account as
ntlworld, I get the following when I try to send unless I change
thee-mail address to my gmx address.
"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.7.0
Sender address does not belong to logged in user {mp-eu002}. Please
verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and
try again."
If I send from gmx, the e-mail address I have to put in for the account
has to be a gmx account, but it will let me put the ntlworld address
as'reply to'. I imagine this will prevent me posting to lists that are
subscribed to my ntlworld address.
Regards, Barry.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] From Evolution to Thunderbird ....
You can define multiple SMTP servers and choose which one to use. That's separate from the account configuration. There are probably plugins that make it easy to change. s/ On 12 Aug 2011 19:18, "Barry Drake" wrote: > Overall, I'm pleased that the next release goes back to Thunderbird - I > think it has better possibilities.

Overall, I'm pleased that the next release goes back to Thunderbird - I think it has better possibilities. But, one area I miss is the apparent lack of control over the sending fields. On Evolution, I was able to set my sending to use another server than the receive server. I need to do this because my ISP only allows sending when logged into their own service, so when I'm away and hooked up to a wi-fi, I can't reply in the normal way.
