Problems with SMTP settings
In Thunderbird I see two methods of accessing/editing SMTP settings for email accounts.
1. Using the "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" which displays all the email accounts in a list. You then select one and click "Edit" to view or edit it.
2. On each email account page there is an "Edit SMTP server" button. Click that to view or edit the SMTP settings for that account.
I'm seeing two problems:
1 - The settings made using #1 above don't carry over into what I see using #2 above.
2 - Using method #2 above, changing the SMTP settings for my newest email account also changes the settings (seen using #2 above) on one other email account. And vice-versa.
What could be causing this?

The canonical list of available SMTP servers)
2. On each email account page there is an "Edit SMTP server" button. Click that to view or edit the SMTP settings for that account.
Which opens the SMTP server associated with that identity in Outgoing server (SMTP). Due to the way outgoing servers are actually associated with an identity, not an account, the same SMTP can be used for multiple identities. It is one of the reasons you will see almost every discussion in these forums about SMTP suggesting the use of unique SMTP names for each entry in outgoing server (SMTP) do you know which is associated with when Identity.
I'm seeing two problems:
1 - The settings made using #1 above don't carry over into what I see using #2 above.
Yet the outgoing server (SMTP) is the canonical list from which the SMTPs you can choose for an identity is populated.
2 - Using method #2 above, changing the SMTP settings for my newest email account also changes the settings (seen using #2 above) on one other email account. And vice-versa.
As I said above. Change the names so each is unique and then you can stop using the same SMTP entry on multiple accounts and all the apparent issues will go away.
What could be causing this?
I think I have provided the reason. Duplication and non unique names for outgoing servers
I'm not clear what you mean by "names". Is that the same as the "Description" I see for each SMTP account?
If so, I gave each of those two SMTP accounts unique Descriptions.
