Thunderbird outgoing server problem

I have 5 gmail accounts, each for a separate purpose. 2 accounts are working fine. 3 others have this problem. I'll call them [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]

When I configure the outgoing server ('edit smtp server'), there is a field for the user name, which is the email address, and the recipient sees this email address as the sender. Problem - with a, b and c - they all contain the same email address! So if I enter [email protected] for a, this is immediately replicated for b and c. So when I send email using [email protected], it arrives as an email from [email protected]. This does not affect the other 2 accounts, which retain the correct settings.

There must be a setting somewhere - any ideas? My email is [email protected]. If you know the answer - please email me!
