Burst Mode doesn't work

Hi Admin
I spent last 2 days trying to convience BulkMailer to work in Burst Mode. After a lot of pain I come here to the forum and I read all the topics related to this problem. I saw that I am not the only one who is facing this problem and also I saw that almost all topics ended without an clear solution.
So, I join to the club :)
I have 3 smtp accounts, let's assume:
smtp.gmail.com
smtp.yahoo.com
smtp.hotmail.com
(ofcourse, they are only suggested, not the real ones)
and I configure these 3 accounts with their according settings (user, pass, from, reply-to, etc)
I set for every account: Connections: 1, Group Mails: 1, Interval: 6 min.
So he estimate for each account that he will send 10 emails/hour wich is correct.
I made the tests individually and each account do its job. OK.

Now I try the beatiful Burst Mode. I select from upper-left drop-down list the Burst Mode, I check the 3 accounts mentioned earlier and from the upper-right drop-down list I choose Connections: 3
So, no matter how many connections I choose (even 5 or 10) the app send all the messages ONLY through first smtp account, to be more specific, he start to send from smtp.gmail.com account, after that give the message on "Delivery" tab that Next Delivery: 00:06:00 so after 6 minutes. After 6 minutes he connect again to the same smtp account (gmail) and send one message and he wait again 6 minutes.

Notes:
* In burst mode after I check all 3 accounts he estimate 23 deliveries/hour which I think is an math problem because in my opinion it should be 30, right ?
* I tested with ver. 8.4.1 and also with the most recent ver. 8.4.4 downloaded from website. The behavior is the same.
* IMPORTANT: even if I make the correct settings for smtp connection for each smtp account, in Burst Mode when the app try to connect to the smtp server he try all the possibilities like port 25, 26, 2526, 3536, 465, 587 (it looks like he "don't remember" the setting that I give when I configured individually the account)

Please tell me if this option (Burst) will work at some point of app evolution and also if will rotate the smtp servers, if Yes maybe I will return after a while to test it and buy it.

If you think that the app do it's job but we all are not enough clever to make the settings please make an short tutorial with example regarding settings that are in discussion (Connection, Group Mail, Interval, and Connections in burst mode)

cheers !
