There's going to be manual switching between SMTP servers if you need
to switch between SMTP servers. If you store your mail on your ISP's
servers then there's little point to it. Just use the ISP for
everything all the time.

I avoid the problem entirely by using SSH tunnels into my home network
and setting the host and ports to localhost:### as appropriate. This
way I am bridged to my private network for all mail handling regardless
of my physical location. I do it this way because I have a private IMAP
server that I control (security, backups, etc.) for storing all of my
mail.
