I discovered that I have two(2) Thunderbird accounts with the same, identical, email address. Can I delete one of them? I fear if i delete one, both will go.
I'm using TB 52.5.2. When I click on 'view settings for this account' two identical email addresses appear and then TB tells me 'An account with this name already exists. Please enter a different account name.' and won't let me adjust either account.

change the name of the account say add a 1 to it and press ok.
That fixes the duplicate names thing. It also allows you to work out which is which in the mail Thunderbird windows. Then you might delete the right one.
I changed one of the duplicates by adding '1', but I can't find a way to delete either. How can i do this?
I changed the first account in the security settings from"Authentication method: normal password" to "AM: OAuth2" and it suddenly worked. I never changed the "AM" in the first place, but hallelujah, it's working now! Thanks for trying to help. Still have 2 user names, but it doesn't seem to matter.

In that window where you went to change the account name, look to the bottom of the panel where the accounts are listed, at the left. There is a button down there which gives access to account related actions.
The button used to be labelled "Account Actions". It now shows the action it was last used for. I keep meaning to raise a bug for this, since things whose names change are just unnecessary extra work to describe and understand.
