Hello, I just added another email account to Thunderbird and now all of a sudden I am getting this error:

A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and setting from identity XXXX

In additon to the error message, the whole email is displayed like a table. Red dotted lines around all the fields on the form showing what I am guessing are tables.

When I click on a message, instead of opening it, it is attempting to reply to the mail. The "from" is my default email address and the "to" is the email address the mail was sent to.

All of the email accounts these mails belong to are in the Account Settings including the newly created one.

I really need help as this bug is keeping me from using Thunderbird. I have been using Eudora/Thunderbird since 1997 and all of my mail, accounts, and everything is in this program.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Feeling miserable, Lew

I found out that the problem, as far as I can tell, is in the main, combined inbox. If I open a mail in a new tab, it is normal, but not when opened on the main inbox page. Could I have damaged a pointer for the inbox?
