   I messed around with the server settings for the two email accounts,   
   Earthlink and Hotmail, that I have under SeaMonkey. After totally   
   screwing them up I managed to get them back to where I can receive mail   
   from both. However I cannot send mail from either. I am currently using   
   web mail for both via Edge and can send and receive there. When I try to   
   send an email from Earthlink under SeaMonkey I get a circling image that   
   just hangs there and I eventually cancel the email. Under Hotmail when I   
   try to send I get a request for my password but entering the correct one   
   just loops back to an invalid password message and the same request for   
   a password. I have defined different outgoing SMTP servers for the two   
   accounts. Would sharing just one between the two work? Seems to me it   
   would cause authentication problems but maybe there's a way around that.
