Specify / use SMTP for external accounts from GMail, GMX etc?

[s0nyv]

Hi there,

first message here, hope somebody can help me out! :-)
I'm really new into Zimbra ZCS and just evaluating whether this fits my private needs. It almost looks very good to me so far, but:

I have a lot of external e-mail accounts (GMail, GMX, Yahoo, ...) I want to manage with Zimbra, so that I basically only have one user which has all these accounts defined as external ones. I already did that, receiving the mails over IMAP (did not try out POP3 yet) works fine, but I did not find an option to specify SMTP settings for these accounts. That is, I need Zimbra to use these external SMTP servers when I want to send an e-mail using one of the external accounts. How to do that -- is this possible at all? Maybe I just overlooked something?

Running Zimbra ZCS as a Turnkey 6.0.x Applicance (example.com domain) via VirtualBox.

Thanks in advance!

That's not possible at the moment, there's an RFE in bugzilla (have a serach for it and vote for it) for the feature to Zimbra.
