Removing SMTP servers in Mail.app

Hey folks,

Mail.app has the nifty ability to add and select from multiple outgoing mail servers from within Mail preferences. The question is how to remove a server from the list of outgoing SMTP servers once it has been added. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can manually erase them in the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist

Find the section of the file which contains your SMTP-server info, for example:

<dict>
<key>AccountType</key>
<string>SMTPAccount</string>
<key>AuthenticationScheme</key>
<string></string>
<key>Hostname</key>
<string>smtp.uuu.com</string>
<key>ShouldUseAuthentication</key>
<string>YES</string>
<key>Username</key>
<string>user</string>
</dict>

Erase all this (including <dict> and </dict>) for each SMTP-account you'd like to remove.

cheers
