Hello, I have added a second gmail smtp on the server list so I can send more emails, but I want my identity to remain the same as default. After adding the second server I changed the outgoing server to the new gmail smtp added & identity was set the same as default...when I send a test mail I got the name as the same which is set in my default identity but the email address & the profile picture where that of the my new gmail added. Is there is way where also change the email ID & profile picture to my default gmail account added??

I don't think you understand how SMTP authentication works and how it all ties together with identities. What you're trying to do is have two Gmail SMTP servers that Thunderbird authenticates with using the same account information, while at the same time behave like two different accounts. That's not going to happen. It's like saying you want to log in to two different/separate Google accounts using the same credentials. If you're exceeding Gmail's outgoing messages limit and you need to send more messages, you should use an SMTP relay service provider and pay for a plan that can carter for your daily outgoing mails.
