Using many e-mail addresses to a persona

I recently upgraded from Eudora. I have 5-6 personas. My main persona has hundreds of e-mail addresses mapped to it. (Every time I set up a new account with a vendor or a website, I create a new e-mail address, just as I did for this forum, and in our mail server, I map that new alias e-mail address to my primary e-mail address. I do this to cut down on SPAM, and it works really well.) In Eudora, and initially after I installed Thunderbird, if I received mail to one of my aliases and I replied to that message, the "from" address in the outgoing message would be the alias. In Eudora, I had the option of pasting the alias into the "from" field. In Thunderbird, I don't have that option. Thunderbird just displays the persona and gives me the option of changing the persona. For awhile, even though I couldn't see the e-mail address when I was composing the message, the alias e-mail address would show up in the "from" line. Now, only my primary e-mail address shows up in the "from" line. I wouldn't want a new persona for each e-mail address, or I'd spend all morning entering passwords to pick up mail.

Your terminology is unfamiliar. I suspect that "Identities" are the closest Thunderbird has to your aliases. These allow you to associate multiple email addresses with one "real" account. It's of greatest value when sending messages and assists in choosing the relevant From: address (which should be automatic.) The implication is that all incoming will arrive in the main or parent Inbox, so it would need only one password to get it working. Where I have used this, I've used explicit Message Filters to move incoming into appropriate folders.

I don't know for sure; I've never had the luxury of an arrangement that lets me create arbitrary email addresses on the fly (other than the clumsy + notation offered by some email providers.)

Open Account Settings. In the top level of each account there is a button named "Manage Identities."
