SMTP Server Configuration

Can there be a User or System setting option for Desktop Designers to save the default SMTP server to be used for all email functionalities?

 

I recently upgraded from 2018.1 to 2019.1 version and with that lost the "Auto detect SMTP server" option in the email tool. 

The existing workflows still seem to work. However the email tool errors out when I make any enhancements to those existing workflows. Dictating the email tool to use the default SMTP server pre-configured by the user in the user/system setup options will be extremely helpful.

I agree.  We just had an SMTP change and have hundreds of places that need to be updated both inside the flows on email objects as well as events that run at the end of the job.  It would be great if those places could read some type of configuration on the server so it could be updated in one place.
