When I first installed Thunderbird, I made the mistake of clicking on an

Unfortunately, that meant that it also picked up all my mailboxes and
mail in that account.


You actually can turn off email in Thunderbird without changing your
settings. This way the settings remain, but it doesn't download your email.

How is that done?
