Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

in the swedish translation (maybe in other languages as well?) of thunderbird 2.0.0.22 when setting up a new email account it first asks for my name and email address, "this is the address you want others to use when sending you email", which in my case is not the same address I want to log on to.

I have <email address hidden> and <email address hidden> and want people to use B to send me email, but want to use A to send and receive my mail.

 If i follow this instruction the setup doesn't work for me. In the end this address doesn't get entered into the "reply to this email address"-field as is implied, rather seems to be used as login information.

Hello Sirap,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2009 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 402283

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G
