Two smtp servers for one account?

Hi,

during every week, I use two different connections to I-net, each with different provider and thus with different smtp ports. From my opera e-mail client, I am able to send mail from both connections, but only with their own smtps. So every time I come home, I have to change smtp in account settings.
Is it possible to set up two different smtp ports for one account? If the first one would not work, the client would switch to the other and send the mail?

Thanks for the answer, here is my setup:
Opera 10.51
OS Windows
using pop server on seznam.cz

there's no automatic switching of smtp servers in Opera, no. You can set up a dummy account that never fetches mail but that has correct smtp settings for your ISP.

Why do you prefer using your Internet Service Provider's smtp instead of the one of your email provider? Try using SSL/TLS if your ISP blocks access to your email provider's smtp.

I'd have to agree with Cyber81's suggestion. I'm not too sure how to go about WildEnte's compromise, but the mail services I use are very basic and minimal and I'm not entirely sure that it'd be a possible action to take.
