IMAP Gmail folder reply to original address

Post by thehunter1 »

I have Thunderbird setup to get my IMAP Gmail address. I've got Gmail setup to check another address (called it address 2 for here, it's a godaddy email address) and put it in my inbox. Thunderbird now retrieves both the Gmail address and now address 2. They both go into my Thunderbird inbox. Problem is, when I get an email from address 2, when I hit reply, it defaults to my Gmail address and not my address 2 where the original email was sent to. Is there a way to reply from the address it was sent to? Thanks much!

Add a multiple identity for the godaddy email address in the gmail account. That way when you reply to a message sent to godaddy it will use it, rather than the account's default email address (gmail). See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_iden ... il_account

You are essentially doing what's described in more detail in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Replace_sever ... ne_account
