[Bug 831535] Re: Thunderbird hardcodes the SMTP server to smtp.domain.tld
Oh, the UI is just confusing.. At first sight it seems that the mail
server comes from the left side of the input boxes because the input
boxes are pre-filled with ".domain.tld".
So, now this is only a matter of UI feature request (make it more
clear).

Title:
Thunderbird hardcodes the SMTP server to smtp.domain.tld
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
When trying to create a new account Thunderbird hardcodes the SMTP
server to SMTP.domain.tld. There are mail systems where host
smtp.domain.tld does not exist and the outgoing server is something
else (in my case mail.tut.fi) and Thunderbird can't create a account
for those.
This can be worked around by adding smtp.domain.tld to /etc/hosts, but
that's not an option for regular users.
$ host smtp.tut.fi
Host smtp.tut.fi not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
$ host mail.tut.fi
mail.tut.fi has address 130.230.162.20
mail.tut.fi has address 130.230.162.19
cat /etc/hosts |grep tut
130.230.162.19 smtp.tut.fi
$ LC_ALL=C aptitude show thunderbird |grep Version
Version: 6.0~b3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu2
