This setting, as well as all other mozilla settings, are stored in the
.mozilla directory in your home directory.

You probably just need to fix the setting at:
Edit -> Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings -> Outgoing Server(SMTP)

The correct Server Name for Earthlink is: smtpauth.earthlink.net

You need to check the box: Use name and password

Earthlink requires this now. The username needs to be the same as your email
address, ie: mazdaracer@earthlink.net
