Server name is selected in the outgoing account settings page on the 
account settings page for each account.  For some reason I remember 
having a really hard time finding this.  It can be different for each 
email.  I have both gmail and non-gmail accounts on my Thunderbird under 
Ubuntu 12.04.  For the gmail account it's smtp.gmail.com and the 
protocal is SMTP.  My Connection Security is SSL/TLS and it's working ok.

I think it discovers your outgoing mail protocol.  You add your server 
to the Outgoing Mail Server pull down on the account page then select it 
from the same pull down.

I have a diffefrent non-gmail account that uses SSLTLS for Pop protocol.

I remember having problems getting non-gmail and gmail working from 
Thunderbird but I only have one gmail account.

Hope this is some help...
