It takes the transport of the default account.
For example, you have two email accounts: yourname at foo.com and
your.name at bar.com, with the first as default account. If you try to send an
email with the second account and you haven't set the special transport option,
you will have an error, because it tries to use your.name at bar.com as login name
for the SMPT server of yourname at foo.com.
It's quite a strange thing...
