I've got two main email accounts that I use in Thunderbird - let's say one is personal and one is business. When I compose an email I have to remember to select which account to send it from, and often forget. Anybody know of a way for Thunderbird to prompt me to change the sending account if I type a particular recipient's address? For example, if I type "attachment" in an email, Thunderbird pops up to check whether I meant to attach something. So if I type "...@aWorkAddress.com" in the to/cc/bcc field then I want it to say "Do you mean to send from your Work account?". That kind of thing. Any ideas? SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

" said:This do?It ought to work but I can't get it to work. There are related add-ins which also don't appear to work. This leads me to suspect it's Thunderbird, not the add-ins - possibly an incompatibility with V13.0.1 of TB. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

Geoff, Identity Chooser add-on might help. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/identity-chooser/ I personally use Outlook (not the Express but the one in Office) so I don't have much experience with Thunderbird. Hope it helps.... NR Log in to reply |

" said:Geoff,That was one of the ones I tried, along with Flexible Identity and Correct Identity. I'm suspecting Thunderbird is the problem, not the add-ons, as it's a common denominator! SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

Geoff I had a quick look at Identity Chooser yesterday and every time I clicked on any of the message icons except reply or reply to all I got a drop down listing the various outgoing accounts and asking me to select. I got similar when I used the relevant menu options. That was running TB 13.0.1. Perhaps your TB needs a re-install? “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Log in to reply |

It's not quite what I wanted but it's better than nothing I guess! SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

Geoff, Better still, use a different emailer. Then you will not have the problem. Barry Barry, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Log in to reply |
