Outgoing and incoming server settings for email customizations are in different windows, causing a lot of confusion when setting up emails. When setting up and email the incoming and outgoing email server settings SHOULD be in the server setting menu, but some of those setting are located in a different menu entirely, confusingly.

If you have feedback to offer, I suggest you use the feedback forum. https://connect.mozilla.org Or there is a link on the Thunderbird help menu.

However. Outgoing servers are a function of an identity in Thunderbird, not an account. As each incoming account can be configured for multiple identities and hence multiple outgoing servers, trying to shoehorn outgoing as part of incoming like is done with say outlook is not really as functional as it is with outlook which only has one identity per account.
