One of the emails I have must have been used by someone else years ago - I've only had it for about a year.
I keep getting emails from FB people - and the "unsubscribe" button doesn't work.
When I tried to login, I got told that someone else was trying to login recently, and I needed to prove my ID. With a photo. Which they've never had ever.
Until I do that, I can't get in and delete this account, nor stop the emails. And what's worse, the email account's filters don't stop these messages - and neither do Thunderbird's.
Am i going to have to give up this email?
It seems I have a Facebook account I didn't know about

Are you sure it is not phishing? Try clicking on the "Details" link to see the headers.

I really can't see how this is related to MX Linux. This thread should be moved to Chat or the like.

If they chumped you into clicking the "unsubscribe" hyperlink, they've already won. Now they know:
-- it's an active email address (the email wasn't bounced) (and can be added to hotlist(s) sold to other phishers/spammers)
-- the email was, in fact, read by the prospective victim
-- IP address (geolocation) + OS/version (per User-Agent string) of the prospective victim
