i have changed my ISP & email address since I have started using mozilla. I receive all emails to my new account as desired, and when I write emails they go out through my new account as well. but sometimes, (not always!) when I select "reply", thunderbird tries to send the reply through my OLD, inactive account, and I can't see why. can you suggest anything for me to check?

regards, dave lontos

Did you remove the SMTP server setting for the old account from Thunderbird? Right click the account in the folder pane on the left side and select Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the account listing to Outgoing Server (SMTP) If the old account info is still there select it and remove.
