How do I delete one of my many email adresses in Thunderbird?

Hi,

I have four email adresses in my Thunderbird and now I would have to delete one of them, but it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.

I tried right-clicking on the email address I wanted to delete, but it didn't work.

Then I went into settings but found nowhere where it said "delete email adress".

But on the other hand, under "Account actions" on the left side under all email addresses it said "Delete account". The problem here is that there weren't three dots after so I was afraid I would delete my entire Thunderbird if I clicked on this.

Where can I delete just ONE of my four email adresses?

Kind regards Carina

You cannot delete the question, but you could click on the comment I posted and select 'Chosen Solution' or in the received email click on the 'Mark it as solved' button, so it gets marked as resolved.
