Build Identifier:
I would like to have only one e-mail box but I reply e-mails in diferent languages very often and it's uncomfortabe for me to change identity with different signature manually.
So I must solve it by having two e-mail boxes. First box is forwarded to second and similarly I have first box like additional identity in account of second e-mail box for replies.
This solution works but still I have two e-mail boxes only due to different signatures.
Is there some better solution to have one e-mail box and two signatures that would be changed automatically?
Reproducible: Always
I came upon one possible solution how TB could recognize the right priority.
It could be realized by setting identity which would depend on "Your name:" information. This information could be different under one account. e.g. I would have "John Smith" in english identity and "J. Smith" in additional language identity.

This is a support request - not a bug per se. Please use the Support channel for your next questions : http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/.
For this one I'm going to give an answer. For each account in Thunderbird , you can create an identity and each of these identities can have a separate signature. That should solve your issue.
Reso. Invalid as this is a support request.

I hoped It will be clear that I have one account with more identities. But I want more.
If I wrote "one e-mail box" I mean exactly what it is - "one e-mail box", NOT ONLY "one acount in TB".
I mean one xx@xx.xx address, one place for my e-mail, no forwarding from yy@yy.yy identities.
I hope you understand now what I exactly mean.

I have. You are not describing a bug, but are having a question about how to use Thunderbird -> This is a support request.

you want more what ?

I don't. What you want is probably email aliases - but that's something that needs to be done on the server side (the thing thunderbird talks to), or using the global inbox.
Again I don't see where a bug description starts here. This is clearly a request on how to use Thunderbird. Hence a support request. And if it's not then I don't understand what your problem with thunderbird is.

This is not support request because I want feature which doesn't exist.
And this is not BUG because I set Severity to "Enhancement".
> you want more what ?
I want to improve assigning of signatures.
Now assigning of signatures is based on recognition of e-mail address only.
It watches only "name@domain.com" in "Name <name@domain.com>"
I want to add recognition based on recognition of "Name" too.
Then I will not must to have two different e-mail addresses:
Now I must to have (Name1 <name1@domain.com> and Name2 <name2@domain.com>) to assigning of right signatures automatically. But I want to have name1@domain.com only.

I don't know if "global signature" is right name of feature.
I show the best examply which I can do:
===Steps to Reproduce a Problem===
1. Create one account with two identities. Both will have:
- DIFFERENT Signature
- SAME all other information including Email Address mainly
2. Enable "Include signature for replies" in "Compossition and Addressing" for both identities.
3. Send e-mail from second (slave) identity to anywhere.
3. After receiving Reply click to "Reply".
4. Now you can see that TB assigned first (primary) identity instead of second identity.
5. So you must to assign second identity manually with every reply if you want to use signature of second identity.
And this is the problem. I want to TB be able to assign second identity.. But this is quite problem because Email Addresses of both accounts are totally same.
So I suggest this:
TB should keep assigning of identities based on Email Address.
But if there will be equality of Email Address then TB should try to assign the right identity based on "Your name:"
I don't know about any other way to fix this.
Now, if I think about this problem again then I could call this problem really like a BUG. This is BUG which forces "some users"* to have two different Email Addresses to have two automatically assigned Signatures.
* by "some users" I mean users who want to collect all Emails to only one Email Address.

If you just want multiple signatures for an account, that's bug 73567 (or you can use the Signature Switch addon in the meantime).
