- The user should be able to quickly access the SMTP selections from the "Compose a new message" window. Then after changing the SMTP server here it should remain changed for all accounts until changed again.

- Thunderbird could attempt sending via a certain SMTP server, then, upon failure it should try the next server in the SMTP list. When a mail has been successfully sent via a certain outgoing server, that server should be set to be the current outgoing server for all accounts.

= Additional Options for Date Column Format =
Create additional values for the Date Column format.  See page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Date_display_format
The additional value would be formatted as follows: <br />
<tt>Value&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Meaning&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Example date and time <br />
5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Abbreviated day/date/time&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fri 12/31/1999 10:23 AM <br />
6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Customized using tokens&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;%dow %mm/%dd/%yyyy %hr:%mn:%ss %ampm <br /></tt>
The new value "5" would add to the current list of date format options.  The new value "6" would allow the user to pick and choose from available tokens and select the order.  This would allow more flexibility and user control of the Date Column.
