get messages is usually greyed out because Thunderbird is in offline mode. Try clicking the dual monitors in the bottom left corner of the Thunderbird window.

BTW if you manage to add the same account to Thunderbird more than once with the same name you will make things considerably worse. So I hope your attempts to add the account again were failures.

IF it is not offline mode, then the following;

  • Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
