I switched back to tbird after an unhappy stint with a different email client. My web host (host gator) helped set up things so emails do not load onto my PC. I understand this means the "local" files and directory are not in use and that's great.

I have two email accounts with the same name. Neither will let me change the account settings manually. Says "account with that name already exists."

Can I safely delete the one that shows up on the top?

I took a chance and deleted the top listed account. The place to to that is not to the right in settings, but below the left-hand column -- below the list of accounts.

Worked perfectly!
