I established a sub-account (2nd email address) to my primary account, and can't seem to switch between them in Thunderbird. Help?

more options

Thunderbird will let me rename my primary account with the name of the sub-account (which confused me for quite a while), but I simply want to switch *between* the two accounts. That is, I would like to view the emails received by the primary account, and then, subsequently, change/switch to viewing the emails received by the sub-account. I would like to do these two separate things at will. I am currently unable to do so, and cannot figure out how to. can you help?
