I've changed ISP. I need to delete my old e-mail address from Thunderbird and leave only the new e-mail account address. How do I do that?

الحل المُختار

Go to Tools|Account Settings.

Select the account you want to remove.

At the bottom of the pane there is a button. Click this, and a drop-down list appears, on which there is an entry "Remove account".

"Remove account" does what it says. It removes the account, all of its folders and all of the messages stored in them.

If you're happy to go ahead, click it. If there is anything in the account that you want to keep, I suggest you stop now and move those messages to Local Folders.
