I accidently copied one gmail acct onto my new gmail acount in Thunderbird, how do I delete it?
I have 3 different e-mail accounts on Thunderbird. JJ@gmail is my main account. My new acct is tman@gmail. I foolishly tried to move 3 folders from the main acct into the new acct., rather than simply create new folders. Now I have copies of my main acct folders in my new acct and I can not delete them because they are labeled (gmail) How do I clean this up. Should I scratch the new acct and start from scratch? If so , how? SOS!

Can you not put them back where they came from?
How about going to the gmail website and deleting them there?
Deleting the new account sounds good too. If it's IMAP, the messages are actually on the server, so removing the account in Thunderbird has no effect on the messages' existence.
Go to Account Settings (right-click the account, choose Settings). Select the tman@gmail account, and at the bottom, under Account Actions, you'll find an option to remove it.
Great advice....I did it all. It would not go back, I deleted it on G-mail, but it stayed in Thunderbird. I deleted the account and then re set it up....it came right back! Maybe it is meant to be there. Feel free to call me at 413-770-1108. Thank you for your help!!! John
