When I converted from POP3 to IMAP last year, it was not possible to simply convert the existing POP3 accounts to IMAP in Thunderbird. So I just setup new accounts for IMAP. Also, it didn’t seem like a good idea to move all the messages from the POP3 account to the IMAP account, performance wise. Unfortunately, this meant that, suddenly, the number of accounts in my Thunderbird installation doubled.
Today I just got around to deleting two of those accounts. After sorting through all the old mails in the POP3 accounts and moving some of them to their IMAP counterparts. Yay! Unfortunately, those were the accounts that had the fewest messages in them of all POP3 accounts. But I still think this is some kind of achievement.
