Is the new AOL email address an alias for an existing account or does it belong to a new account?

Hi christ1, Thanks for your interest and reply. The new email address belongs to a new account and is not an alias (is alias a link to an already existing email address?) I read about alias for first time yesterday. I would like to be able to access both my normal and my new email addresses via Thunderbird. Is there a "toggle between facility" or something like that. Simplest is best for me.

Thanks again,

Colin
