How do I change the primary SMTP server address on my iPhone DOT-MAC accoun

My original account smtp settings were for dot-mac. I am having ever increasing problems getting mail to send. I can find the settings for my primary SMTP server, but cannot edit or update them (currently smtp.mac.com), as they are all gray'd out and cannot be changed. I would like to update these settings to smpt.me.com. Is it necessary for me to delete this account in order to update the settings? That seems rather lame.

Many thanks, but that did not work. I was not able to add smtp.me.com. I still cannot modify the Primary settings.

What did not work? You could not add an additional SMTP server? It does not matter what the primary is listed as....turn it off. Then turn on the additional server you added.

Better yet remove your .mac account and add it back as .me account.

I am using Entourage and setup outgoing smtp.me.com to use port 587. It works! This is great! Thanks.
