Want SMTP server with different username, password than IMAP server.
I would like to know if I can set up a Thunderbird account to have an SMTP server with a different username and password than the IMAP server did. I want to use a bulk mail-sending service to send emails, but point to a different mailbox for receiving. I can see where there is the possibility for configuring a different username for SMTP than for IMAP, but I cannot figure out if I can set a different password also. Thanks.

The username and password are set by the email provider. You can't make them up yourself.
There is nothing to stop you setting up a new account just for this purpose. Thunderbird will require that you set it up for incoming but you don't have to use it for that.

I stated my problem poorly. Let me halt this discussion and open a new thread, for the sake of clarity. Sorry about the confusion.
