The 3 different E-mail accounts are hosted on 3 different servers
by 3 different providers (my ISP, GoDaddy, and a small company).


I also have on my laptop three email accounts hosted on three servers. The thing is, in all cases, the SMTP account is the same one: the one from my ISP. That is because GoDaddy and such usually don't offer SMTP connections, just mailboxes. You need to provide your own connection to access email (because GoDaddy is not an ISP, just a host).

What that means is, if I'm at home, I don't need to define a user name and password for SMTP since they automatically detect that I am using their network (duh, I'm home!). When I'm somewhere else, though, using WiFi or whatever, that is not the case. They see I am on a different network, trying to access theirs to send email. The email address I am using is of no importance, even if it is myaddr...@myisp.com. They just detect the network used.

In those cases, my user name and password for my ISP account must be defined in SeaMonkey. That allows my computer to "tell them" that I really am just one of their users accessing their server from another network.

That is done in the navigator, in Edit --> Account Settings --> Outgoing servers. Edit your settings there to put in whatever needs to be put in (your ISP can give you this info if you don't have it, and it's usually posted on their website).
