If I forward an email from one of my accounts, Thunderbird wants to send it from a different account, but some are personal and others for business.

I may receive an email on account X, or maybe already sent one from that account, but when I hit Forward, it wants to send from account Y. The first may be a business account, the second for personal. Since I actually have more than two accounts, I have to remember to check from which one the forward is being sent, otherwise things get confused, especially when I start getting replies on the wrong one. I installed Folder Account 6.0, but that didn't solve the problem.

Thunderbird forwards based on the SMTP setting for the account or identity that it was received on. You not going to find an add-on that can intelligently work out which account you want to use when your forwarding mail form an account.
