Simple description: With POP you download the mail to your computer and work on it there. IMAP keeps the mail on a server and you just download it to read it. > > I have a gmail account and a school account assigned to Thunderbird. > The school account works fine except that the return address it gives > people is from the gmail account.

You need to create a new Outgoing Mail setting for your school account. You can setup each account to use the corresponding SMTP settings. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
