I have three email accounts. One comes to desktop by Tbird, one by Mailbird (shortly to be uninstalled) and one by .... well, it was Outlook Office 2019 (not outlook.com) but that is impossible. Spent 3 hours with 2 MS techs who could not stop it from crashing every time opened. So I need at least one more email client. Can I install two "copies" of Tbird without hopeless confusion? Accounts use different servers. Prior miserable experience with default servers steers me away from putting two accounts into Tbird. Does Tbird handle this differently? Thanks.

Two copies? It's better to set up two profiles. Please read Using Multiple Profiles.

Thank you, but it's not a question of user preferences within one account. I need more than one account (actually, three), each of which has entirely different servers. I cannot have messages from one account labeled as sent by a different account.

Can I run two (I actually need three, and have one) "copies" each with one account or will that cause so much trouble that I should use something else entirely?
