How to delete an email account?
I no longer use yahoo email and I want to delete that account from Thunderbird on my iMac running 10.7.5. The delete key and delete key combinations are not effective. I bet it's an easy fix. Thanks for cluing me in.

Or just click on the account's name at the left and the "account central" pane should open to the right. This will have a link to the settings.

Right click on mail account in Folder Pane and select 'Settings' make sure the correct account is highlighted. click on 'Account Actions' select 'Remove account' click on OK

I don't have a right-click option with my one-button Macintosh mouse. For platform translation I can usually use an expansion key (usually "Ctrl"-click) but none of the expansion keys bring up any menus. I'm looking for a macintosh-specific solution but it occurs to me that I can go to the public library and use a Windows machine that does have right-clickability. Thanks for the idea.
The account is installed on your Mac. You can't delete it from the library's computer.
ISTR command+F2 simulates a right-click.
Do you not have a menu? Apparently on the mac version, you should have Tools|Account Settings in your menu.

Thanks. The option is really buried in the settings. Once I found it, one click is all it takes. Thanks again.
