I had been using sTunnel to access my servers, because one of my readers
didn't support SSL...so I'd set my SMTP server to "localhost".

Now I want to change to a 'real' SMTP server, but I can't find how to
get Thunderbird to let me change it. It shows "localhost", but I can't
replace that line data.

Help!!

hmmmm - which version of TB are you using??

in my old version, I RIGHT click the server name (top of the list)
select Properties
Scroll down the left panel, to the very bottom
select "outgoing server (SMTP)"
a list of servers pops up, to the right side....
select one... or add one... or edit one
click the button [Set default]

let us know if that works for you!
