Not possible to assign separate smtp server to account

Bug #162832 reported by Toltech on 2007-11-15

Affects		Status	Importance	Assigned to	Milestone
	thunderbird (Ubuntu)	Invalid	Undecided	Unassigned

Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

After adding a second smtp server to "outgoing smtp" in "account settings", this smtp server can not be added to a specific account:
"account settings" -> "accountname" -> "manage identies" -> "identity" -> Only default smtp server can be selected

The expected behaviour is a drop down with all smtp server viewable

I'm having similar problem.
When multiple smtp server's are listed and one is selected as default,
thunderbird doesn't use the default server even if there is one server
marked as default. I have to modify server address everytime when I'm
changing ISP / location(wlan). Annoying.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?
