suddenly the Thunderbird cannot distinguish between info@zelec.se and info@stiernbrandt.com. It thinks they are the dsame and if I write the email address in the "Edit SMTP server" as info@zelec.se the same name appears in the account info@stiernbrandt.com. This is a very recent error. I saw todfay that this happen and then TH forbids me to send email from info@stierbrandt.com since it wrongly copies the into the info@zelec.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

What you are experiencing is that you have two accounts sharing the same SMTP server. You can easily fix this by changing the documentation so it is more visible. - Click to 'account settings. - scroll down left side to 'Outgoing Servers' - on that page you will see all of your SMTP servers - To help fix your problem, edit each one's DESCRIPTION field to have the appropriate email account. This is just for documentation. - NOW, click the account name in the 'account settings' pane and look at bottom row of right side of screen where it links to outgoing SMTPserver. If you see the email address of the other account, you have that account pointing to the wrong server. Click the dropdown menu and select the appropriate server.
