In sent mail, the 'mailto:' is for the wrong account
Question: In sent mail, the 'mailto:' is for the wrong account Details: I am using Thunderbird 38.5.1 on an up to date Win7 PC to gmail using IMAP with 2 email accounts. When I send email from account 2 the 'From:' line has account1's name?? I.e.: "From: Account-2-Name Account-1-EmailAddress@gmail.com"
Sending from account 1 works as expected: "From: Account-1-Name Account-1-EmailAddress@gmail.com"
Account 1 is the 1st (top) account in 'Account Settings'. Account 2 is the 2nd account.
I see nothing in y thunderbird or gmail settings that explain this. Any help appreciated. Thanks!!

Do you have two discrete smtp servers set up, one for each of account 1 and account 2?
And is each correctly associated with its proper incoming account, in account settings?
Looks like the problem was the 'Out going server' setting on account 2 in Thunderbird. Changed it from 'Use Default server' to 'Outgoing Server - Google Mai smtp.googlemail.com'. With that the 'From' is I.e.: "From: Account-2-Name Account-2-EmailAddress@gmail.com"
Note: there is also a 'Account 2 gmail smtp.googlemail.com' option, but with that could not send for some reason ?
