two identities; reply to default account error
My wife (Marilyn) and I (Ron) have been sharing Thunderbird for a few years with separate identities. Ron's identity is the default account. This started a few weeks ago. When Marilyn sends an email, her "SENT" file shows correctly the email FROM: Marilyn; TO: recipient. But the recipient receives FROM: Ron; TO: recipient. And of course, when the recipient replies, it goes to Ron. This is very annoying. I have changed Marilyn's identity to include her REPLY TO address. So now, the recipient receives FROM: Ron; REPLY TO: Marilyn; TO: recipient. How can I fix this?

It is not gmail. The outgoing SMTP server is smtphm.sympatico.ca. Also, it was working well for over a year before the problem started.

Sorry for the very late reply. When I get to Outgoing server in Marilyn's account, there is only one option offered, and that is the default server. How can I change it or add a server?
As sfhowes advises: Try adding a second outgoing server under:
- Tools/Account Settings/Outgoing Server (SMTP)
Make a good note of the settings used in the current default smtp server.
Description: Server name: port UserName: Authentication method: Connection security:
click on 'Add' button Enter the same details with slight modification on these: DEscription eg: Sympatico - Marilyn username = your wifes email address
click on OK
Now, you should have two Outgoing server (SMTP) settings.
then set :
Tools/Account Settings/marilynaccountname
select the newly added server from the Outgoing Server (SMTP) drop-down box in the right pane.
click on OK to save chnages to Account Settings.
Great! That seems to solve the problem, until Sympatico makes more changes.
