Re: [Dorset] Thunderbird identity problems

2023-11-09 Thread Hugh Frater
Yep, this is pretty much how I have my system configured, each account has
an allocated smtp server and you can pick whichever account to send from.

I have an internal server and a 365 account setup on my thunderbird.

I have Thunderbird, with three email accounts, Gmail NTLWorld and 
Windriders.co.uk (I own the domain)


In Outgoing Server (SMTP) under Edit >> Account settings >> Outgoing 
Server (SMTP) each of the above three email accounts has its own SMTP 
entry, with NTLword (now Virgin) set as default address.


When I write an email at the top above the To box I have a From line and 
at the far right of the is a drop down arrow where I can select anyone 
of the three smtp servers. As far as I know Thunderbird will send out to 
my selected SMTP server.

Yes, what I'd mentioned is that resolving a dnssd address to an IP
address needs help from the printer, so if it's asleep that might be
why it stays asleep.

It's possible that changing the connection would help, to some other
type based on the IP address (I don't know what connection types
Brother printers support I'm afraid, but the GUI will). Of course,
resolving the IP address to a MAC address _also_ needs the printer's
help, but the ARP cache on the client end might help and you've said
it's a statically-allocated address.

I have just unset  this on the hotmail account: Reply from this identity when 
delivery headers match.

Stopped and started  T-bird. This has no obvious effect.

I will delete Yahoo, and make a note to check it online periodically.

Peter,

I'm not sure what is going on here.  The above three addresses are clearly three 
different mailboxes, since they are on three different servers.  As such they 
should appear in the left-hand pane of Thunderbird as three 'tabs' with right 
arrows ( > ) which turn to down arrows ( \/ ) when clicked on.

Is that right?

If so, then replying to a message that appears in one of those tabs would 
normally have the receiving address as the sender. However, this behaviour 
changes if you have any Identities set up in the Account Settings.  In that 
case, the reply would be sent from whatever Identity you have set up, unless 
there wasn't a matching entry.

Do you have any identities set up for any of these accounts?  If you do, what 
happens if you click on the down arrow in From field at the top of the message 
that you are composing?


You are correct about the three email accounts. None of them have any identity 
other than the default. I have filters that filter messages off to my Local 
Folders  like DLUG Messages.  That is what I am replying to now.

I always have to click on the v arrow in outgoing emails to set it to the 
desired account. (Hotmail).

The other two accounts are seldom used now except for places where I have set 
them up as the security email or similar.  I'm tempted to delete the Yahoo 
account, but then Murphy will probably send an email to it.


I have just unset  this on the hotmail account: Reply from this identity when 
delivery headers match.
