The usual thing to do in this instance is to add both accounts to 
Thunderbird.  Thunderbird is very good at keeping your identities 
seperate, if that is what you require.  (ie, when you reply to a 
message, you reply from the account which received the message, which 
can have it's own Name, e-mail address, and even outgoing e-mail server 
if they have to go out through their own.)

However, to answer your question as asked, you can launch Thunderbird 
with -no-remote and -ProfileManager switches, which will allow you to 
launch two instances of Thuderbird, with a completely different profile, 
simultaneously.  I've found that more useful with Firefox.
