Hi all,

We are Mary and John, married and have separate computers, separate e-mail addresses and separate e-mail interests (family, music, justice, .... , vs. Mathematics, compilers, programming languages, family, ...). We need separate inboxes, drafts, sent boxes and trash boxes. Sometimes, one of the machines is down, one machine has to take over for both, and two Thunderbird mail 'accounts' are needed on one machine or the other for up to a week or 2. This was possible with earlier Thunderbirds, but I (Mary's in-house tech support, with 35 years of teaching Computing Science at the university level, and computing experience dating back to 1955) can't find how to set up a second e-mail 'account' for me on Mary's machine in the latest Thunderbird. How does one do this ?????

TIA

John.
