Since Comcast will no longer allow me to "send" from my AOL Address I need to change my "from:" address on every e-mail I send. I thought I could make my Comcast outgoing server the default one and that would take care of it - it didn't. Then I thought I could just delete my AOL outgoing server and Thunderbird would then have to use my Comast Outgoing Server - it doesn't. I can continue to try and remember to change the FROM with the drop down list but it would sure be nice if I could save this aging brain of mine and make the software default for me.

I had already tried this and also deleted the AOL Outgoing Server from the account without any success. I did solve problem by installing the Add On "Correct Identity 1.4.2". This worked and allowed me to select the "from" address I wanted as the default.
