Hi, I have some accounts that i need to connect directly to internet instead by tor, is it possible configure?

Greets!

Hi,

Unfortunately this is not possible directly because some preferences cannot be isolated on a per-account basis. There are two things you can do:

1). Use multiple profiles. In one profile you can have TorBirdy installed and enabled, while in the other you can use your account that you don't want to go over Tor.

2). Use Transparent Torification. Which means that all other TorBirdy privacy settings will remain intact but traffic will be sent in the clear and not over Tor.

This has also been discussed before so you can go over the tickets for more information: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8487, specifically the first comment.
