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.
- Go to "Tools -> Account Settings".
- Choose the account to which you wish to add additional identities.
- Click the "Manage Identities" button (on the lower right).
- Click the "Add" button and then add the necessary information for the additional identity for the account.
- 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.
Exceptions
The Gmail SMTP server will ignore whatever From: address you supply unless you add it in the Gmail web page at Setting -> Accounts -> "Add another email address".
