Can I create a second E-mail address in a Thunderbird desktop installation?

I'm operating Thunderbird in a three-year-old DIY 64-bit Windows 7 desktop PC system. I'm the only user of this system and I only created one Comcast cable E-mail address for myself. I've had no need for a second address until now.

I'm attempting to use secure online accounts to manage my elderly mother's healthcare. I've found that some sites use E-mail addresses as the sole identification of registered users.

I wanted to avoid confusion when I create two accounts at such sites , one for my mother and one for me. I thought I could create a second E-mail address in Thunderbird for my mother, to use when we both have accounts at the same Website. Can this be done in Thunderbird or should I investigate whether my ISP (Comcast) would allow me to create a second address which I can use as my mother's "User ID" at sites which use E-mail addresses for that purpose?

Would I be able to receive her mail in Thunderbird? (She doesn't use personal computing technology.)

Keazen oplossing

Thunderbird is not an email provider. Only providers issue email accounts. Comcast will let you make 5 or 6 different email accounts. Once you have a working email address then you can add it to your existing Thunderbird and have it check both accounts.
