Description Rüdiger 2021-02-12 09:04:33 UTC

SUMMARY
If I open an email link on a website than an email draft is opened. But if I have several mailboxes than I need to select which sender has to be taken and which signature, too. Otherwise always the default mailbox is taken.
This is a standard function in Thunderbird which I come from.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This should be possible.  If you have multiple identities set up then you can select which one is used for composing and sending a message - if the combo is not visible in the composer window then it may need to be made visible by Menu bar - View - Identity.  Changing the identity here will set the "From" address and the signature (and also the "Reply-To", crypto and any other identity-specific settings).

If this option does not seem to be available or does not list the configured identities then please update the bug with any further information.

Thank you Jonathan. You are right. It should work the way you described!!
