Profile or account? These are completely different things.

Now I have 2 different email accounts with the same name ...

Can you give an example?

Like I said "email account" not profile...I had an existing email account in TBird I used every day. I recently added another email account with my ISP and added this new email account to TBird under my existing profile so I could received emails from 2 different email accounts under one profile. The email accounts had the same mail servers but 2 totally different names .. like "MyEmail" and "JaksonsMail", the new account.... TBird renamed JaksonsMail to MyEmail also so I had 2 MyEmails....I deleted the new one and re-installed it giving it a different email server name from the same ISP (should not matter what server) and the same thing happened.....no way I can figure out how to rename the email account back to JaksonsMail....

Can you post a screenshot of your folder pane?

Forget it...geeze...

Tools menu (alt+T) > account settings

Click on the account name in the list and edit it on the right Once you have then with separate names you can use the Account actions button at the bottom to remove one if they are duplicated.
