I have 2 email addresses. I only want to use the main one with Thunderbird. I do not want the 2nd one showing up. How do I remove it? - close this email address in Thunderbird?

When you're certain there is no mail to be kept in the old account it can be deleted.

Press Alt or F10 in case the menu bar is hidden. From the main menu bar: Tools - Account Settings Select the account to be deleted in the left pane. Select 'Remove Account' from the 'Account Action' drop-down menu at the bottom.
