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

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

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?

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.
