I use it all the time. I keep a flat in the States and one in Geneva, CH and all I have to do is, once I set up the settings for the app, I go to the Apple script menu icon in the menu bar, choose SMTP Location X and then the location for the SMTP I am at, and it changes all my email accts to the proper SMTP setting for the provider at that location. I also use it on the road for work in various countries I may be in and use the outgoing mail servers frequently. It also will change your time zones, mail settings, etc....Now it is known as Location X http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13855 Ciao FRED
