I have 2 pop email accounts on Thunderbird 121.0 (64-bit) Win 11. I have just discovered that when I send an email from Account 1 Sender appears as my account 2 address and this change is causing me a great deal of pin. How do I send an email from Account 1 containing my account 1 email address for response. I obtained a new email address as I was going under with trash arriving and this seems like a recipe for the same. Thanks

Check to verify that you have TWO SMTP servers defined. From your post, it may be that your account1 is unknowingly using the SMTP server for account2. I attached two screenshots to demonstrate that.

Both accounts are greyed out and something other than I chose the default so how do I swap them when I need to?
