ThunderBird Account settings unable to delete an account

Here is what I finally did.. Remove the email in the account setting, rename the account (DUD), Remove all properties and information to the server, filling in the email as,( no@email.com ) Uncheck ALL boxes in the account. Restart your computer then open Thunder bird.

Eventually you will see the option to remove the account as you would the same way as Removing a local folder in Thunderbird.

It seem to me that Thunder Bird should have allowed a user to be able to REMOVE AN ACCOUNT.

Why this feature option ( to be able to remove an account) is not available or does not exists, is beyond my comprehension of COMMON SENSE UNDERSTANDING.

Why would the Developers of this program, miss the opportunity to help users with this issue.

Go into the account settings and ad the option button there.
