Hi Thunderbird People: I love Thunderbird but I believe it is not choosing the correct email account when sending email.

Please see the attached screen shot.

I have selected the usandacat.com account as the default. When I compose a new email it defaults to the Yahoo account.

Is this a bug?

Thanks, John

If a folder from account X is open when you start a new message, account X will be entered in the From: field. It's possible to set the From: field on a per folder basis, if desired:
