Mail is being sent from the wrong account
Hey guys I have 5 accounts in Thunderbird, and when I send mail from my main account, it goes into the sent folder of that account AND the sent folder of another account, one which I didn't send from and barely use. That's not the problem though, the problem is that it's actually being sent from the account which I barely use. Every time I send an email I triple-check which address it's being sent from, and it's the main one but still it gets sent from another account. Does anyone know what's going on here?

Check Account Settings > [name of account] and see what the outgoing server setup is. Also check the Outgoing Server settings and see which is the default.
All the accounts are sending to smtp.googlemail.com There are two entries of exactly the same outgoing server, but one of them is labelled "Default".
Is that the one you want to be the default? You can change the default server.
There are only two servers, and they're both exactly the same. Does it matter which is the default?
It might, in the case of multiple gmail SMTP servers, what username and password is used is the determining factor. ie if you have an SMTP that logs in as Bigfella@gmail.com and send mail from smallguy@gmail.com using that SMTP Gmail will chae the sender information to Bigfella when they transmit it.
You need an SMTP entry for each account (that may be 5 or 55 gmail SMTP entries) and need to set each account to use the correct one.
This seems a bit advanced for me, I reckon I'll just delete the barely used account and get it to forward all of it's mail to the main one.
