When you click the name of an account in the Account Settings dialog box, Thunderbird displays the main Account Settings pane. This pane allows you to customize the name of the account and the identity that other people see when they read a message sent from that account. | |||
The options are: | |||
* '''Account Name:''' By default, this is the name you provided when you first set up this account. You can change this name by typing in this box. | |||
* '''Your Name:''' This is what other people see when they view your messages. Most e-mail and newsgroup programs display this name as the 'Sender' of the message. | |||
* '''Email Address:''' This is the address from which your messages appear to be sent. | |||
* '''Reply-to Address:''' This optional setting allows you to specify to which e-mail address other people's messages are addressed to when they click 'Reply' to one of your messages. Most users will leave this box blank, meaning that other people's replies will simply be sent to the address specified in the box above. But if you want to specify a different reply-to address, you can enter it here. | |||
