I don't have Thunderbird in front of me but
There are 2 names on each account, the actual account name you log in with and a local name used by Thunderbird to separate account settings. This latter needs to be unique so I may use
Tweetiepooh at ISP1 and
Tweetiepooh at ISP2 for the account names in Thunderbird. Each will then have it's own settings including whether to store the password. If you do store the password set a Master Password in Thunderbird to stop others getting in. You will need to enter this each time you start Thunderbird but only once. Also make sure the login stored is correct else it will fail and you will get prompted to enter manually.
