The mail file is getting too big anyway. sounds like a bug with thunderbird. you could check to see if it is a know bug by filling in search info; https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ if nothing shows file a bug report. an easy way to remove accounts manually, instead of biting the bullet, close thunderbird, open a file browser in detail mode and show hidden. open file browser to; /home/bobg/.thunderbird/o111r0ba.default/Mail/ there you will see all your email accounts. some may have a file with .msf extension. because thunderbird does not recognize a file starting with a period, ie, ".filename" you can test for correct account/s, by renaming account/s [and .msf file/s] you want to eliminate by adding a period "." to start of account name/s. ie, wildblue.net -> .wildblue.net wildblue.net.msf -> .wildblue.net.msf. open thunderbird, if account/s no longer shows in left pane, you have correct account/s. close thunderbird again and either delete or move account/s [and .msf file/s] to a save place in case you might use again. it really is not necessary to delete/move accounts, unless you really want to clear space. reopen thunderbird, remove the filters for the deleted/removed account/s. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates.
