How to Get TB to Give Option of Which Account to Send Mail?

[killz]

Is there a way to have TB ask you which email or account to send mail from? I got a few accounts and I have a specific mail account from which mail compose is sent by default. The problem with this is sometimes I email people from the wrong account/email address. I dont want a default account. I want TB to show a popup to give me options into which account to send mail from. Is there a tweak in the settings or addon for this?

hello Dan,

Sadly it doesnt work. Any other suggestions?

What's happening now that you have that extension installed?
Did you assign accounts to specific folders as noted in the description of extension on the page linked to above?
Do you have separate SMTP servers defined for and linked to each account? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_: ... TP_Servers

Confused by your suggestion. I installed this addon but theres no popup giving me an option from which account to send mail.

You installed the extension but there are settings that must be selected for the extension to do what you want. Did you set those options?

There are no options. In the addons page in TB I dont see any options for the addon.

Try right clicking on the name of the Inbox folder for one of the accounts and select "Properties" from the context menu. In the dialogue that appears, select from the drop down "Use Account" drop down at the bottom of the box.
