I'm having a spot of email trouble. My email address is in the following format: Anything@AccountName.F9.co.uk Meaning I can sign up to specific forums or whatever with a unique address, i.e. PCPro@AccountName.F9.co.uk, and if I get spammed, I have a fair chance of figuring out who has forwarded my address. All was well and good, until I started using Thunderbird. Because my settings in thunderbird include my reply to address as David@AccountName.F9.co.uk, any mail sent to anything other than David@ doesn't come through. Am I missing something obvious? Any help is greatly appreciated. Spreadie |

Are you using AVG by any chance ? |

No, Kaspersky 2010. Just been sending myself a few test mails, from various accounts, it definitely does not allow anything unless the address starts with David@. |

Maybe Google K10 problems then? It's got problems with everything else seemingly ![]() |

Kaspersky isn't filtering the incoming mail, I checked. Must be something else... Tis a bit of a head-scratcher. |

Would you not need to set up an account for every email account? one for pcpro, one for x404 etc |

That was my logic. An e-mail account, in my mind, is xyz@subdomain.domain.tld. So either you need Thunderbird to be able to get all the accounts on a given subdomain (automatically or manually) or have a seperate account for Thunderbird to download from. The issue with the latter, as I see it, is to do with marking e-mails as read and delteting them and such like. |

Thats what I was thinking, although I've never had to do that in the past with either Outlook or Outlook Express. |

Sorted. It was due to changes on the ISP side with the mail redirects. |
