Thunderbird Select a default account Solved

Question

Hello, I have several email accounts on Thunderbird. I want to choose one as default. In my case, I have a blog that sends messages via Thunderbird and the blogging application automatically uses the account at the top of the list.
I've read some advice, but: 1. In account settings, I don't see the mention "Set as default account"... 2. In my list of accounts, I don't see an arrow to modify the account list to place the one I'm interested in at the top...
Thank you for your help, kind regards.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 26.0.1410.43

Hello;

Unless I'm mistaken, you can set a default account by doing the following
Tools >> Account Settings >> In the window that opens, on the left you have your list of accounts and below, you have Account Management, and you just need to choose the account you want to set as default and after restarting Thunderbird, this account will be at the top of the accounts

The default account for writing a new email is fine But, on the other hand, for replying to a received email, Thunderbird does not suggest the default account (sender account).

In the account settings, at the bottom of the account list: outgoing server (SMTP). On the right, select and press "default".

Thank you Pierre for this response
The default outgoing server is the one for the default account
But that doesn't work, Thunderbird insists on offering me, for replies, a sending account that is not the default one and has an outgoing server that is not the default one.

At the bottom of the first page of each account, there is a line titled:
outgoing server (SMTP) followed by an account name, which is probably the one you see all the time; that's where you select the account you want to use with this account.
I hope it's clear enough; if not, go back to the blog.

It may be me who wasn't clear
What I want is for Thunder to suggest the account set as default (the one in bold) by default for the "reply" action
This works well with the "compose" action for a new email
but not with "reply" to a received email
and this is not related to the account that received the message because no matter which account received it, when I "reply" I always have another account (always the same) as the sender account
