How can I specify the account used to send message when importing by ics files?
I made a horrible mistake by accepting meeting invites, not realizing it's using a different account than the one that receives the message, to respond to the invite. Essentially, clicking accept sent "Accept" using a "not for work" email account, instead of the work account that I received the invites in.
I think, it's using the first account. I' don't know how to test this. Is there a way to make the accept message use the account the invite was received in?

I was referring to the account, not to the default SMTP server. They're different.

Which account do you have defined as the default one? That would be my first guess. The default account is set at account settings page in the 'account actions' menu.
The default SMTP server is associated with the account that I got the invite in, but it replied using the account that came first top to bottom. If I select the account with default smtp server, the account actions menu has an option to set as default. The other one that it replied from, has set as default greyed out.
I've moved the account with default smtp server to the top. I don't know how to test though. I tried a test webex meeting but that doesn't ask you to accept a meeting that goes on your calendar.

Ah, ok. Set as default, greyed out, means that's the default, I guess. So, I've set the one that I want to be default as default. It seems like that will be the solution, but I still haven't figured out how to test it. It's probably outlook that is sending the meeting invite.
Ideally, it would use the account that received the invite... but, oh well.
I finally got to test this. Some meeting invites result in thunderbird prompting for an account to use. Others don't. After making the changes that david suggested, I see it used the default account. Whew!
Fixed now, but this is a catastrophic problem! Absolutely must fix!!!!
