Great !! Exactly what I was looking for. The ability to put a domain in the "warning list" is great to ensure you will not write to someone in job A with an adress from job B ! Thank you.

This is a really great idea, but entering in all the contacts tied to each account is a lot of work.

There's got to be an easier way to add contacts to an account. It would be great if, when I select a different identity when composing an email, it could pop up and ask if I want to associate that identity with the addressee(s).

Or if not, maybe add an item to do that to the right-click menu for addresses.

Strange wordings in the settings, but if you manage to navigate through them, it works like a charm. Thank you!

I configured this add-on for my wife in an attempt to solve a problem (mail going out with the wrong From address), but it only got worse. Here is the setup:

her-name@private domain
[email protected]
my-name@the-same private-domain

The current problem is mail going out with gmail as the From address when that is not wanted. I tried forcing the identity for each account, but for the first, got this:

her name <[email protected]> her-name@private-domain.

I have no idea why this is happening or what to do about it other than to remove the add-on,

I'm sorry if this is out of place. I couldn't find a place in English to post it.

Hi,

to report problems you could also use github:
https://github.com/dennisverspuij/tb-correctidentity/issues

From your description it is not clear if this add-on could really solve your problem.

For the description I like to use two terms: "account" and "identity". (maybe check also https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-identities).

Short (inaccurate) definitions:
account: is the email-address or username + password you use to access your mail server. (and typically has an SMTP server defined for outgoing emails)

identity: is an email address used on an account. This includes the default email address and additional mail-aliases.
An identity always uses a specific account (the one it is assigned to).

In your description e.g. in "her name <[email protected]> her-name@private-domain."
the account is "[email protected]" and the identity is "her-name@private-domain"

This add-on selects the "from" identity based on e.g. "to"-addresses when writing a new mail or e.g. on "to" addresses of a received mail when replying an email. (There are more functions, but maybe this is closest to your use case)

To simply select the "from" identity when starting a new mail, Thunderbird already offers a list of identites to select.
Also the default identity can be already configured without this add-on.
Even some simple rule to select this identity for replies can be configured without this add-on.

Correct Identity 2.2.1 fonctionne bien pour sélectionner une adresse par défaut pour écrire un nouveau mail, c'est parfait pour ça !

Cependant, quand on répond à un message, il sélectionne bien l'adresse pour envoyer la réponse mais comme adresse d'envoi, il prend l'adresse par défaut pour écrire un nouveau mail et pas celle à qui le message a été envoyé...

Dommage.

<Correct Identity 2.2.1 works well to select a default address to write a new mail, it's perfect for that!
However, when you reply to a message, it selects the address to send the reply to, but as the sending address, it takes the default address to write a new mail and not the one the message was sent to...
It's a pity.>

I'm using the Thunderbird version 102.2 and Correct Identity stopped working. I guess that this is due to incompatibility. Are you planning to update? I'm really missing this great add-on... Thanks!

Thanks a lot to Idreier and Dennis for bringing back this famous add-on to TB. I was really missing it since several TB versions. Tried various work around but none resolving or working properly.
Thanks again, its a real great add-on and very help and useful!
Best regards Christian

Does not do what I expect. It almost does nothing...

I couldn't find a help page explaining what it does, and the explanations in the (German translated?) setup page does not make much sense.

What I expect: when I reply to a message, use the address the message was sent to as the sender address.
What it does: it always use the default or the configured sender address. I don't need an add-on for that.

This is incredibly useful if you maintain business, personal and other misc email identifies and don't want to give out the wrong address to the wrong contact.

Still add 2 signs:
- correct one (the one I configure for a sender) : but before the replied email body
- wrong one: (the default account sign) after the replied body

Awesome! Exactly what I needed. My TB at the office was configured for two domains, work and home. All too often I would send from my home domain to a work recipient. After installing Correct Identity, I just entered domain names for each identity and now TB corrects the identity as soon as I provide a recipient. I only wish I had searched for solution long ago.

This is really a very useful and great addon.

But one option is missing.

It happens all the time to me, when replying to a message stored in archive folder, that I use an unwanted Identity

So it would be great if it was also possible to choose in the Options for "none" / "empty" or alike as choice for "When Composing a new message"

That way, while composing the mail, selecting an identity manually becomes mandatory.
