I have numerous email accounts set up. When any other account is CC'd in the email thread, I hit REPLY ALL and it selects a CC'd email to send from, not mine.

I have my own, plus my two employees' email accounts set up in my Thunderbird. When I write an email from my own email account and CC in the two employees, then I get a reply, I reply with REPLY ALL and it can choose to reply from either of the two employees' email accounts.

I'm having to change it back to my email with the drop down, remove my email from the list of emails being CC'd and add the employees' email back into the CC list.

Happening almost 100% of the time, but varies so often that I can't figure out the cause of this. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Drew

The problem is that you have set up these two employee email accounts in Thunderbird. As far as Thunderbird is concerned, all three accounts refer to you and it has no reason to prefer any one of them. Users with multiple own accounts have a similar problem.

Is it legal to do this where you are? I think it would be frowned upon here in the UK, if not actually prohibited by law.
