Dear Warriors,

I use Mozilla Thunderbird for my emails.

Is it possible to create 2 separate email accounts in Thunderbird

such as helpdesk@mydomain.com
and helpdesk@yourdomain.com

I mean; to create 2 separate email accounts for 2 separate domain names in 1 Mozilla Thunderbird

I would appreciate your feedback, knowledge and comments.. Thanks

    Our BDC has:

    Etc.

    Honestly, your email client wouldn't be what you use in order to create the emails, you'd have to do that through your website hosting. Most likely the cPanel.

    But to answer the main question, yes, Mozilla Thunderbird can handle multiple email addresses.

    It's interesting to note as well that Thunderbird was officially discontinued back in July, not long ago, but I would recommend eventually updating. If your on a PC, the Microsoft Office Suite with Outlook works perfectly. On a Mac, the stock mail app is incredible and handles multiple email accounts from me from a number of different domains.

      Thunderbird works great and is anything but discontinued. And yes, you can have multiple email addresses / identities. I have many funneled through one email address, so everything does not need to be setup in cpanel.

        Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with you. I'm a huge believer in Thunderbird. I used it for years when I used exclusively Ubuntu.

        However, Thunderbird is indeed discontinued, well, offically that is. Just like other Mozilla products, because it's open source, it will stay alive as long as the community wants to keep supporting it.

        Thunderbird: Stability and Community Innovation | Mitchell's Blog

        Notably this quote:
        Much of Mozilla's leadership -- including that of the Thunderbird team -- has come to the conclusion that on-going stability is the most important thing, and that continued innovation in Thunderbird is not a priority for Mozilla's product efforts.
        But I digress, Thunderbird will accomplish what the OP is looking to do.

        Thunderbird is not a company, its a product, made by Mozilla. The same company behind the popular web browser Firefox. I don't think that you also may not understand that Thunderbird will not create your email accounts in any way. Thunderbird is a program known as an email client, basically congregating all your accounts together.

        Like I mentioned in my first message, in order to create the email addresses at the hypothetical domains you mentioned, you would (most likely) use your cPanel (through your hosting) to create the account. Then your hosting will give you some information you'll need to plug into Thunderbird. Those being things like Username, Password, SMTP server, and outgoing server. Don't worry if you don't know what those are, once you create the account for your hosting backend, it will give you this information.

        Finally, to get back to my original point, and as I said, Thunderbird will no longer be officially maintained by Mozilla itself, but Thunderbird has a huge pool of open source developers who no doubt plan on keeping it up to date for years to come. Perhaps it was a bad suggestion to mention updating, which you absolutely do not need to do if you prefer using Thunderbird.

        Does that clarify everything? The overarching theme here is that Thunderbird is a product, not a company that accepts accounts. The actual creation of the email will come from your domain and it's hosting. Thunderbird simply acts as a client to display your email, from multiple accounts as well.
