Hi I wish to add email addresses to the from box when I write emails.

I have my own domain name registered with a third party which I add forwards to which arrive in my thunderbird in tray and it is easy to add a new one to forward to my email server into thunderbird.

But cannot find out how to add the address the from box without adding a new email address?

I did manage it a few years ago with an old version of thunderbird but I have just move over from XP pro to 7 Pro and had to install the new Thunderbird so must either be forgeting the simple or going daft in my old age!!

Help!

Cheers Mark

You need to add them.

One possible route is to add a new address as an alternative identity for an existing address.

Your one possible route is the best possible route and makes it so simple when you know how.

Just what I wanted!
