I have an account set up on thunderbird but wish to add an alias email account for that email. I have tried to add it as an extra account but it fails each time. The imap and pop 3 and password are the same as the main email address. I recieve emails to the alias but cannot reply using that alias but only the main email. How do I add that alias so I can recieve emails to it in a separate inbox and reply using that address

Please provide the info as described here:

You can edit/remove all info on fonts, but do not remove anything else.

I assume the 'alias' email address is a sub account email address created by you in the main webmail account.

When you say 'but cannot reply using that alias', can you offer more info. In a new Write message, can you select the FROM email address, it should be one of the options in the drop down list? Click on the small black arrow on the far right of the 'FROM' header to reveal the list.

Or do you mean you can select the email address in the FROM header, but when you try to send the email there is a problem? What error message do you get...word for word?
