duplicate email accounts

Thunderbird Tech,

I have two email accounts in Thunderbird, one a main address and the other a secondary address. Somehow, probably something I did, caused Thunderbird to generate a third account with exactly the same email address as the main account. They both receive the same emails, which is unnecessary. I don’t know when this started, but it must have been recently because the “new” one has only a small number of emails in it. I would like to delete this duplicate account, but am afraid the main account would also be deleted. The icon for the new account is a little lock on it. Is there a solution to this situation?
