Back when I was connecting using cable I was able to use their SMTP server
to send e-mails and I was able to use the combo box alongside the From and
select different e-mail addresses. I'm now connecting using Verizon DSL. If
you want to use their SMTP the return address must be @verizon.net (or pay
a lot of money for a business account). But I am still using the same POP
server I've used for 15 years and I am not changing my addresses. So I have
checked Allow authentication and I am sending out through the POP server.
The problem with this is the only way I can now change the address is to go
to Options and change the Email address there. Is there some way around
this shortcoming?

Then don't use Verizon's SMTP server,
or write your congressperson and complain that
Verizon's refusal to let you use your other address(es)
is a violation of the fundamental right to Free Speech,
as well as monopolistic restraint of trade --
it's time we took this all the way to the Supreme Court, isn't it?

Do you mean that you are sending mail via another ISP's SMTP server?

The best way to designate a single SMTP server to send all mail is:

In "Sending Mail" options, next to "SMTP Relay Personality,"
designate the personality whose outgoing (SMTP) server
you want to be used for sending all mail.

In _all_ personalities (Personalities window),
right click each icon, choose Properties, and check the box
[x] Use relay personality, if defined

Every personality will now use the designated personality's SMTP server
(and its login info) when sending mail, without altering the displayed "From:" info.

Yes. The same POP server I've used for 15 years now. I've never changed my
e-mail addresses. For connections I've been dialup, ISDN, RoadRunner,
Earthlink, and now Verizon DSL. Next will be Verizon FiOS. Sometime before
mid-2014 they claim.

Ah. This had been set to None. This was the missing link.

Which was already done.

Thank you. This works just fine.
