Subject: Default email account for sending mail in Thunderbird?

I have two different email accounts I receive mail at, but I only want
to compose email using one of them. Unfortunately, I can't find a way
to set the default account, and it always defaults to the one I don't
want to use.
As it is, I haven't set that one up, so it just gives me an error when I
try to send. I then click on the "From" link, select the one I want
from the drop-down list, and hit "Send" again.
Does anyone have a more elegant solution?

Tools->account settings. Pick the account you want, and click "set as
default" at the bottom of the column. Does that give you what you want? Or
is it sufficient to just change the name and email address and such for both
incoming accounts to be the same?
If that's not what you mean, on the same page, pick the email account you
want to always send mail from, and observe the "outgoing server (SMTP)" at
the bottom. Then go to the account settings for the account you want to
change, and switch that drop-down list to be the same outgoing SMTP server.
(The SMTP servers are configured at the bottom of the list on the left.)

Thanks, this worked :)

This is what I had done before, but it wasn't working. It tried to use
the outgoing server from the correct option with the account info of the
incorrect one, which is why I would get an error when sending.

OK. If you want to be able to send from both, just set up two different SMTP
servers. Then, whichever inbox you have selected will control the default
from address when you compose.
