Do you have the correct Calendar selected in the Event creation dialog?

Comment 2

Yes (and I only use one calendar, in any case). There is no other calendar showing in the drop-down menu.
I almost never use the email address that the Invite Attendees button has started defaulting to and have never used it to send an event invitation.

If you select that calendar in the Calendar list, right click, select Properties, does the email address appear that it has started defaulting to the first email address?

Can you select the email address you want to use from the list?

The email address I want to use is already selected when I follow the above steps. The address that the Invite Attendees organiser has now defaulted to doesn't appear in the drop-down menu, where the options are: None, the email address I want to use (which is already highlighted when I select Properties), and someone else's address whose email account I have set up in my Thunderbird.

PS My email account for both addresses is with Fastmail. I've just logged on to the Fastmail site to see what happened when I sent up a test event: when I invited someone, it showed the correct email address as the event organiser. When I opened the test event in Thunderbird, it also showed the correct email address.

I would really appreciate some help with this. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird and I've added my other Fastmail usernames into my Thunderbird profile. At all times when I select the calendar properties, my principal email address, which is the one I want to use for inviting people to events, is highlighted. I have now deleted ALL of my user names from my Fastmail a/c, other than my principal address, but still one of these shows as the default when I try to invite someone to an event through Thunderbird.
Please help me - I'm freelance and this is affecting my work. Thank you.

Fixed the Lightning version info.

Do you have any other Identities associated with the account you want to use for the event organizer? Check the account settings 'Manage Identities". Maybe it is set as the default.

I can't reproduce this, and Bugzilla isn't a support forum.
