   Essentially, for each email account (POP/IMAP) you have defined, you   
   need to have a corresponding SMTP server defined for (and associated   
   with) each one.  For outbound mail, you have to authenticate to the   
   server with the user ID that's associated with that account.   
      
   Thus, if you have a GMail account, then outbound mail has to be sent   
   through Gmail's server, where you authenticate with your Gmail address.   
   If you have your Gmail account not configured correctly, and it shows   
   authentication for another provider, Gmail will reject the connection,   
   because you're not showing an ID they recognize.   
      
   The same applies with any other account that you have configured, where   
   the account's SMTP settings are for a server that authenticates you to   
   that server.  SBCGlobal, Earthlink, or anything else.   
      
   For what it's worth, I have 9 different email addresses configured on a   
   variety of providers. That's both work and personal addresses (including   
   accounts on Gmail and Yahoo, as well as others). For my primary personal   
   mail, I have two different accounts with the same provider, and each   
   account is configured to use its own SMTP configs, where the   
   authentication ID matches the email address.  Thus, if I'm sending from   
   the first address, I authenticate to the server with the corresponding   
   ID.  If I'm sending from the second address, then I'm authenticating to   
   the server with the second ID.  Even though it's the same provider, if I   
   were to set the second address to try to send by authenticating with the   
   first ID, the server would prevent me from sending outbound messages   
   that way.
