I have been using Thunderbird for many years, and have just started having an issue with multiple email accounts.

I have several gmail accounts, with one set as the default in the Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings. In the past, the email would be sent from whichever account I was in when I composed (or I could change it from the drop down in the sender address box). Now, when I send an email from my personal account, it shows up in the correct "Sent" folder with the correct sent email address. However, the recipient gets the email from my "default" address.

Obviously, I changed a setting somewhere, but I do not know what I did. I know the explanation is a little confusing, so please ask if you need any clarification.

Thanks in advance.

Found the problem. At some point, I must have changed the outgoing server to "Default" instead on it's correct one. It took me a few minutes to find the location on the setting, but all is working correctly again.

Thanks

This type of problem generally requires examining every account. Every gmail account needs its own smtp server, so my first steps would be to review settings for each smtp server and then review to see that each account was set to use its specific smtp server.
