Setting up thunderbird on a new computer when adding an additional email account I mis spelt it and is now apparently logged into the system. Whenever I start up thunderbird it asks for a password for this false account. I cannot remove it because it is not listed in accounts. How can I find and delete the false account details? Thanks Bringee

Please post a screenshot where you attempt to delete the account. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
