2.4.12 is kind of old at this point, 2.5.5 was released some months  
ago.  Although there have been some changes to mail sending and  
fetching, I don't remember the main configuration location changing.

Have you looked under the Balsa/Preferences menu?  Upper section says  
"Remote mailbox servers" for POP3 or IMPAP, and lower section is  
"Outgoing mail servers" SMTP.  Then under Balsa/Settings/dentities...,  
on the Messages tab, you select which SMTP server that identity uses.
