Thunderbird is killing ME!

I'm sure @MoxieMomma can help with that much better than I can.

LOL. Flattery will get you everywhere, but I think perhaps you over-estimate my abilities.

Disclaimer: I know nothing about "Manage Identities", as I do not use anything other than default settings for that.

But, if all you want to do is to delete an account from within TB, it's pretty easy (see screen shot).
I do not think it necessarily involves changing the "Manage Identities" settings.

CAVEAT: Be sure to backup your profile before making any major changes. It can be hard to "undo" significant alterations to one's profile.

Let us know how it goes, so that we can all learn.

Excellent! Thank you very much for the info. All I had to do was change the name on the duplicate account and then follow your instructions above in post #11. For some stupid reason I never saw that "Account Action" at the bottom. After reading a ton of "help" files in Mozilla and getting directed to the "Manage Identities" button then I never pulled my head out to look around. It was very easy to accomplish what I wanted to do after reading your post and I apologize for not being able to explain what it was I wanted to do. I really like Thunderbird and wanted to keep it. Thanks again for your help.

Super!
I'm glad you were able to resolve your issue.
Thanks for taking the time to let us know.

P.S. No apologies needed.

I'm sure glad you posted that, cause I was sure fixated on the "Manage Identities" thing I never even saw that "Account Actions" at the bottom. I put Thunderbird on my wife's computer today and what a bear importing the address book and I had to do the storage folders one at a time and then copy paste the content into the folder. On top of that I upgraded hers to Windows 10 Anniversary upgrade too. Been a long day and well past beer 30 . Thanks again for your help.

You're most welcome.

Cheers,
MM
