I am using W2k here, and I put all folder/messages on network drive, I
set the registry as follow :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sylpheed\HomeDir Reg_RZ M:\Sylpheed

I have no problem here while sending through SMTP which does not check
credentials matching. Indeed in other SMTP which force the smtpauth
force to use sender <address> must match credentials I can not do like
that. Perhaps your SMTP server does have restriction like that.
