Deleting an account...

I recently had to reinstall windows, consequently reinstall Thunderbird. During installation I set up the account as I did years ago but it does not show my 23 folders. It shows only inbox & trash. So, I imported my account from a backup and it has all my folders. The problem is that both accounts have the same name, email address, & password. I would like to delete the account that has NO folders and use only the one with my 23 folders. Both accounts currently show all incoming emails. Will deleting the one account by any chance delete the other one since they are identical in name, email address, & password? Thanks.

No, they are treated separately by Thunderbird.

Thanks David. It did delete the account even though it popped up a message saying that it couldn't delete it because there was another account with the same name. But below that message was another one that said the account was successfully remove. Thanks again.
