Short background: My account is an aol and my address is xx@aol.com. When I send an email it arrives at the recipients inbox as "from xx@aol.com" - when they reply it is to "xx@aol.com"

I have an email which is x@y.co.uk - this is good because it is in the format "<myname>@<mysurname>.co.uk" which is easy to remember. Any email to this address goes to my aol - so far so good.

My Problem: When I send an email on Thunderbird - it arrives as xx@aol.com; and someone replies it shows as xx@aol.com. What I would like to do is show it arriving as "<myname>@<mysurname>.co.uk" and with a reply-to as "<myname>@<mysurname>.co.uk". Please is this possible, if so what can I do. Finally, more important is the reply to address. If I give someone my "<myname>@<mysurname>.co.uk" email address, I would like at least for them to be able to reply to that address.

Thank you all for any assistance you can give,

Jay

If I understand correctly, the ability to do that would let people use Thunderbird to send spam. Thunderbird sends the actual email addresss. For replying, you can use the 'reply to' option.
