You can tell Thunderbird to use more than one identity per mail account. This would be the case where you have a catch-all account for a domain or forward messages from another e-mail address. The instructions below assume that you have Thunderbird 0.7 or higher.

  1. Go to "Tools -> Account Settings".
  2. Choose the account to which you wish to add additional identities.
  3. Click the "Manage Identities" button (on the lower right).
  4. Click the "Add" button and then add the necessary information for the additional identity for the account.
  5. Repeat as necessary for additional identities.

Now, you can select any of the identities when replying to mail or composing a new message. If desired, you can also create a unique signature for each identity.
