I have several gmail accounts in Thunderbird. When Inbox is selected for any gmail address, and "Get Messages" is selected, I get the following error message: Error with account Junk Mail gjcmail@century 

         Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server pop.centurylilnk.net responded:
         gjcmail@centurylink.net is an invalid mailbox

This is an old inactive account. What should I do to stop this error message?

Second issue: For some reason, some emails don't automatically get marked "As Read" after viewing them, you have to manually right click on it and execute Mark > As Read.

In Thunderbird troubleshooting mode, the error message for the mail server pop.centurylilnk.net does not appear. But the "As Read" issue remains.

Maybe going into the old email accounts settings > Sever Settings > and removing the User Name will stop the error message issue? I don't know about the "As Read" issue.
