Re: Identical STMP server addresses causes confusion in thunderbird...

I've found an answer to my question in the form of an extention.

Show SMTP Username 0.2.1
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?application=thunderbird&numpg=10&id=151

Works fine with 1.0.2. Definatly something which should have been 
implemented ages ago. Its not per account SMTP but will do for now :)
