Thunderbird: Account A sends mail, recipient receives from Account B

Dear All,

I have 2 IMAP Gmail Accounts in TB, say Account A and B. If I send an email with Account A, the recipient will receive the email from Account B and that is not the intention. In Account A and B, I also see the mail in Sent.

If I do the same in Gmail (Browser) itself, this will not happen. If I do it the other way around in TB, so B sends the mail, then it will be fine too.

So, somewhere in TB there is something wrong in Account A, but I can't figure out where. Any idea where to look within TB?

Best regards, Bert (Netherlands)

Dear All,

Before posting this post, i have been searching for a few days, where the problem was.

Just now, I have found the problem: In the SMTP-Server, I had the username of Account B instead of Account A. So, I changed that and the problem was solved.

Sorry to bother you.
