I keep getting my husband email together with mine ?
I have two account set up; myself and mine husband. On Wednesday, I noticed that when I started thunderbird account, for some reason my husband email account had disappeared. I reset the account by adding the second identity (new account) been that I could not find any of his save email or new email. Once I added his email again, Now I am getting his email and mine and he is getting my email and his. I check all setting but can't find why this is happening. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I see a single comcast account configured. I must therefore assume that whatever is merging your email address and your husbands email address is happening on the comcast server.

Hi, Mr. Johnson, I have no error message to post. The problem is that when I got to my email I am getting my email and my husband, the same thing happen when he go into he email, he get my email and his. This started happening as of yesterday. I check all the setting and everything looks ok. is there something I can do to solve this? I have two identity one with my name and the other with my husband. When I log into thurnderbird it gives me an window were I click on my name and it takes me to my email.
Thanks for you help............Arelis
I didn't ask for error information, though I would if there was an error.
I asked for the Thunderbird Troubleshooting Information. Please re-read my instructions for how to provide that info.
I asked for it so I can see it's section for "Mail and News Accounts". It has information about the accounts set up in Thunderbird, like their server settings (but no personal information).
I think that your problem may be that while you and your husband have separate e-mail addresses, both e-mail addresses are putting their messages in the same e-mail account.
This are my email setting

Great, thanks for your help. I will go and check on the Comcast setting. Once again thank you.......................Arelis
