With g's help the problem with deleting the Centos mail filter
directory is solved.
The files were located by doing -
[root@box10 bobg]# find . -name Centos
./.thunderbird/1blpa2ks.default/Mail/pop.googlemail.com/Inbox.sbd/Centos
./.thunderbird/1blpa2ks.default/Mail/pop.googlemail.com/Trash.sbd/Centos
and then:
[root@box10 bobg]# cd
.thunderbird/1blpa2ks.default/Mail/pop.googlemail.com/Inbox.sbd/
and then from there:
[root@box10 Inbox.sbd]# rm -fr Centos*
removed the unwanted directory from the mail filter list.
I think that's the essence of what he suggested, he may want to
clarify this further. It took a few tries to understand the problem
and arrive at those steps.
Tomorrow I will try the same logical procedure to remove several more
that have been stuck there for some time. I think it is probably not a
Thunderbird bug, but rather something that happened in the process of
saving those files to the server and then using them to configure new
Thunderbird installations, something I did perhaps?
.
Using the same process I have now removed 4 more "phantom" directories
from the filter list. I have had those through several versions of
Fedora and was unable to delete them from the GUI.
Thanks to all.
Bob
