Problem with multiple AOL accounts and OAuth2

I have followed the instructions to update my AOL accounts to use OAuth2. It's fine on the receive side but on the send side when I set the smtp server settings both accounts use the same one so only the first one setup works. I have tried giving each outgoing server its own name and associated it with the particular identity, but the last one used seems to overwrite the other. How can I setup each account to have its own independent outgoing server settings?

So add another one with the correct credentials and set it to be used by the correct outgoing account for each identity.

Checking in Help > Troubleshooting information will offer insights as to which outgoing server you actually have set for each identity.

Thanks. I tried adding one with the correct credentials but it said (don't recall the exact text) that the connection already existed. Looks like I'll need to delete the existing account and then set it up again. I'll leave the other one in place since it seems to be working. I won't touch the third one until this is sorted out.
