Hi Paul
The “All Folders” is one of the panes which shows all folders set up in TB.
I have attached a “snap” showing the 3 strange icons, and what shows when I right-click on one of them.
I cannot keep the “Account Actions” menu open when I tyry to snap it, but the “Set ASs Default” and “Remove Account” are greyed and cannot be activated.
Many thanks.

Thanks Paul. I did as you suggested, then restarted ThunderBird.
The new account has disappeared, although in “All Folders” I now have 3 little envelopes with padlocks! Can you tell me what they are? Clicking on them gives same results as the valid accounts except that “View Settings” only shows the valid accounts.
“Set as Default” and “Remove Account” are still greyed out.

I have a multi-boot system – 2 Linux (Mint 8 & PC User OS) and Windows XP & Vista. I did also have Win 7 Release Candidate but removed that when it expired and I did not feel paying for full Win 7 was worth it.
My “main” system is Vista and I have XP as Hewlett Packard decided not to provide Vista drivers for my 4470 Scanjet. As a pensioner (72), I cannot afford to replace a scanner which works perfectly well and has attachments for slides & negatives.
I like to try out different systems and programs, so that is why I have the Linux systems as well as MS. The Linux systems also boot very quickly if I just want a quick look at the net, or some of my photos.
I have 14 partitions spread over 2 drives. I have my data (Excel, Money, Word etc), photos, music, and MS applications all on separate partitions, so they can be seen by all systems (I can use the same copy of applications on different Windows systems).
I installed XP first, then Vista & Win7. Then the Linux systems. I let Grub do the boot. When it boots, it has the Mint screen with the Linux options and a Windows option (I set this as default). That then takes me to the Windows boot screen where I have Vista as default but XP as an option (and previously Win7).
Incidentally, on Vista I run Sun Virtual Box where I currently have XP and a Ubuntu 9 -based system! But they cannot see my files so are limited in their use – just good for experimenting.
I sometimes have trouble with remembering which system is which (senior moments!!) and keeping up with updates, but it keeps me out of mischief that I might get into otherwise!
