How To Setup Multiple Email Identities In Thunderbird

The desktop email client Thunderbird makes it very easy to setup and use multiple email identities. Multiple identities can be useful in multiple situations including the use of sub-addressing to combat spam (Gmail and Yahoo Mail users might have already come in contact with the concept through the use of mail aliases), use a set of custom settings for the mail account, forward messages from another e-mail address, use a catch-all account for a domain and several more.
Email identities can be created in the account settings of the Thunderbird email client. The account settings can be reached from the top Tools menu. The user then needs to select one of the configured email accounts. A button Manage Identities should appear in the menu that is also displaying various information about the selected email account.
