Can anyone suggest a solution. This is on Kubuntu 22.04 with T-bird

I have 3 email addresses on it:
petermerch...@hotmail.com
p_v_merch...@yahoo.com
madsmaddad@netscape,net
in that order.
Whenever I try to reply to an email, it always puts up the yahoo
address as the sender. For awhile I had changed the yahoo
configuration to have a reply-to address of the hotmail address, but
that just prevented me sending replies from the yahoo address, so I
had to change the sender address manually. I have now taken that out
but it still wants to send from the yahoo address.
Peter,
I'm not sure what is going on here. The above three addresses are
clearly three different mailboxes, since they are on three different
servers. As such they should appear in the left-hand pane of
Thunderbird as three 'tabs' with right arrows ( > ) which turn to down
arrows ( \/ ) when clicked on.
Is that right?
If so, then replying to a message that appears in one of those tabs
would normally have the receiving address as the sender. However, this
behaviour changes if you have any Identities set up in the Account
Settings. In that case, the reply would be sent from whatever Identity
you have set up, unless there wasn't a matching entry.
Do you have any identities set up for any of these accounts? If you do,
what happens if you click on the down arrow in From field at the top of
the message that you are composing?
