Thunderbird shows email messages from the wrong account; Sending email "Request failed: Mailbox unavailable"

Thunderbird Send and receive email

Thunderbird shows email messages from the wrong account. The messages show properly in Yahoo website and on other computers using Thunderbird. Concurrent with this new issue, I now get message: Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: "Request failed: Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again."

I have verified the settings. Searching for help with Thunderbird, I see references to index files getting corrupt. However, I struggle with the correction procedures. When I right click on the bolded email address, "Properties" is not an option on the drop down menu. I cannot find a "Fix folders" button.

BTW, I did contribute December 17, 2025, it seems like a pretty good way to say "thank you!" Jim
