I had already checked the contents and of the account and there was nothing worth keeping (mainly used as a forum and mailing list e-mail address) You may want to check that it removes the actual files, AFAIK deleting the account leaves an orphan file set on the disk - hence the use of thunderplunger to remove orphans?

This can be set to look for and delete obsolete accounts ( it also reports the size of large mailboxes). rgds, Simon -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday 2012-07-03 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread on mailing list: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

Re: [Dorset] How to delete an e-mail account in Thuderbird
I have an old e-mail account that I wish to delete which is setup in Thunderbird (13.0.1). The account has been pretty dormant for over a years so I am not interested in keeping the e-mail. Trouble is I can't find anyway of deleting the account. Checking on the web and most result are for windows based Thunderbird's or say I should not delete the account as I will loose all the e-mails. If anybody has done this could you please let me know how. Hi Tim- Edit - Account Settings Select the account in the treeview on the left hand side. Undernet that is drop down titled Account Actions. Select Remove Account.
