Do you have anything in your error logs straight after you try to save?

Odd, it works for me. In the meantime you can force the change by running this query in phpMyAdmin:


UPDATE {$db_prefix}settings
SET value='[email protected]'
WHERE variable = 'smtp_username'

i tried and it says   
       You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '}settings
SET value='webmaster@*******.net'
WHERE variable =

                      i replace [email protected] with my email that i want to use.

                                   now i search it in phpmyadmin and found smtp_username as admin@*****.net  can i replace that email?will it works?

Change {$db_preffix} to the preffix you specified when you installed SMF.  By default it's smf_  Also add ; at the end of 'smtp_username'

no luck,
    cani change value manually by replacing email.
                  my db prefix is db1  so in   Table: db1settings can i change value by replacing new email?

Well it's all up to you.  Those are backus made when you upgraded your forum.  Make sure if you are going to delete them that you are not deleting the wrong stuff.  Double check it.

BTW is the problem fixed?
