Recently changed mail server details from an old Comcen mail server to a Spintel server (Spintel bought out Comcen years ago and it seems they are killing off anything to do with the old name....).

Worked fine for a few weeks but just started to get an error message that refers to the old server. When I swap to consolidated (I have 3 email addresses) Trash or Drafts folder I get 2 (?) 1 flash, 1 steady pop up saying the old server has a problem - disconnected or a network problem.

Where in Tbird is it remembering the old server name? It's not in the incoming servers for any of the email addresses nor is it in the outgoing server details.
