scripting question

[Henri]

I change SMTP servers on occasion with the help of a script:

set the_server to "smtp.gmail.com"
set the_user to "x...@gmail.com"
set the_password to "yyy"
set the_port to 465
tell application "Mailsmith"
    set n to count mail accounts
    repeat with i from 1 to n
        set smtp server of mail account i to the_server
        set use smtp authentication of mail account i to true
        set require SSL for SMTP of mail account i to true
        set smtp user of mail account i to the_user
        set smtp password of mail account i to the_password
        set smtp server port of mail account to the_port
    end repeat
end tell

I'd like to change that so as to use a different user and password for different accounts. Can I assume that the accounts are numbered in the order they appear in the Accounts window? Or is there a way to address them by name (which seems safer)?

tell application "Mailsmith"
set myAccount to (first mail account whose name = "Account Name")
set login of myAccount to "us...@example.com"
set password of myAccount to "abcd"
end tell

Look at the Mailsmith dictionary for more properties.
