We have 3 emails coming into Thunderbird. The default changed to the wrong email account after the last Windows 10 update. The default setting is grayed out for the correct email address in Account Settings. Are there any solutions short of deleting the incorrect default email account?

The default mail account will be the one at the top of the list.

re :The default setting is grayed out for the correct email address in Account Settings. If you select an account name in left pane and click on 'Account Actions' and 'set as default' is greyed out. This means that mail account is already set as default.

In Account Settings window. Q: Is the mail account/email address at the top of the list, the correct default mail account?
