Hello there guys this is how you delete a account in Thunderbird Software.


Open Thunderbird. Click the Thunderbird Menu icon (three horizontal bars) at the upper-right of the Thunderbird pane. Hover your cursor over Options and click Account Settings. Select the account you wish to delete and click Account Actions. Click Remove Account. click oke. And close account settings.


Just be aware that when you remove an account all messages will go with it. If there are messages in that old account you wish to keep, move them to folders under Local Folders before you remove the account.
