I use Thunderbird as an e-mail client and have had no problems to date.

I have recently soldout to the cable world and embraced Virginmedia.

I have been using Thunderbird to allow multiple accounts to send through a single smtp server, whilst allowing messages to appear to come 'From' the account of my choice.

However I now have an issue;

1. I still run an old Freeserve account, and wish to continue to use this as may main personnel address. However I cannot mail from any client via their smtp server. This has not been a problem because...
2. Currently I have an Idnet account which allows use of their smtp server but this facility is likely to lapse when account closes in the future.
3. Having set up a new virginmedia account, all messages mailed via the virginmedia smtp server appear to come from my virginmedia account irrespective of which account Thunderbird has used to 'Send' the message.

Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong? I would like to retain choice over which account messages appear to come from but do not seem to beable to do this with virginmedia.

Thanks in anticipation.
