Yes, that would probably work for many users.

However, it is NOT the way I want it to work for me.

I want it THE WAY IT WAS!

I want ONLY the multiple ID's to drop down.

I want to click on the account of my  choice.

I want to enter the password for THAT account ONLY.

I do NOT want passwords to be filled in by the computer.

When somebody figures out a way to do THAT, many of us will be happy.

Until then, I am still experimenting with other providers, but am having trouble figuring out Thunderbird.
