Two identical accounts, one for input, other for output, Both have DEFAULTED SERVERS. HOW DO I CORRECT IT ?
THUNDERBIRD DUPLICATE ACCOUNTS
The PRIME which is handling all INCOMING MAIL and is the DEFAULTED ACCOUNT.
The SECONDARY has all the created MAIL FOLDER and is the DEFAULTED OUTGOING SMTP SERVER. The latter DEFAULT overtly seems to prevents DELETING THIS ACCOUNT.
I am prepared with duplicate backup THUNDERBIRD FILES. Authentication was changed on the second account in the process of trying to eliminate it.

Open Tools/Account Settings, select the PRIME account in the left pane, then look at Outgoing Server (SMTP) in the lower right pane: make sure it's pointing to the smtp server associated with the PRIME account, not the Default server, which seems to be associated with the SECONDARY account.
If the PRIME smtp server doesn't exist, Add it under Tools/Account Settings/Outgoing Server (SMTP).
