| In the composer address bar dropdown I have several address I would
like to delete. I have done the manage addressed but it still leaves
a few there I do not want. What is the trick to eliminate these
unwanted addresses in the address bar dropdown?

Addresses that appear where you enter recipients are probably listed in
one of the address books within Thunderbird's Address Book (Ctrl+2).
The drop down menu for the From field usually lists the addresses for
your mail and news server accounts.

Thanks Doug, I am trying to get rid of several old email addresses in
the from dropdown window. Using manage addresses in account settings
will not do the trick.

Each of my mail and news accounts in Account Settings has its own
"Manage Identities" button. And each button opens an "Identities for
<account_name>" window with different addresses in it.

If you clicked all of the "Manage Identities" buttons (there's one for
each account) and didn't find the addresses in any of the "Identities
for ..." windows, try opening your profile's prefs.js file in Notepad
and see if the addresses are there. Post the line they appear in if found.
The line may look something like this:
user_pref("mail.identity.id5.useremail", "uce@ftc.gov");
Default profile folder locations:

No luck opening the .js file. Scripting error MS
I deleted the main email account thinking I would see if that did any
good and then reinstall it. After deleting the account I closed TB
and reopened it to find of of the accounts I wanted to get rid of in
place of may main account. I deleted it and the same occurred on the
other 2 accounts. After deleting the unwanted accounts, I
reinstalled the main account and now all is well. There is probably
a much easier way to have done this but the job is done and I am
happy  Thank You for all your help it was most appreciated.

Don't double-click the .js file as that tells Windows to try and
exectute the script, which it can't because it's not an executable
script. Right-click and open it in Notepad to edit. Only do this with
the application closed.

If you have a difficult task, give it to a lazy person; they'll find an
easier way to do it.
