If I uninstall and reinstall
If I uninstall and reinstall TB do I lose my accounts and their configuration?

Re: If I uninstall and reinstall
You will not lose your data if you uninstall only the program but leave the profile in place.
Clear the browser cache and the Windows Temp directory.
Download a new copy of the full installer from http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/all
Delete the directory C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird (or it might be C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird
Run the installer.
Your saved messages, address books, settings, passwords, etc (if any) are stored in a different directory from the program files and will not be removed by deleting the directory identified above.
