'may', because i have never tried such. what i do know is any easier way to correct is to delete them with a simpler procedure. with thunderbird close, open a file browser to; /home/user-name/.thunderbird/*.default/Mail/ open a terminal from file browser, execute; rm -R *.msf cd .. rm panacea.dat exit open thunderbird, all .msf files will be rebuilt and a new panacea.dat file is created. next <alt+f>,<f> to compact all email files and remove 'dead' emails. if you do not have thunderbird configed to compact on closing, you need to set such or remember to do so when deleting or manually moving emails. as for what you also needlessly posted; =+=+=+= > *I am an entry level Information Technology Specialist/Systems > Engineer/Linux Server Administrator/Helpdesk Support/Computer Technician > available for hire anywhere in the world!!! =+=+=+= you really need to read and learn what is present with most all well written computer programs. the very last of every main menu line, "Help". had you done so with thunderbird, you would have been directed to; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/thunderbird last in list should have been your first choice. ;=) in closing, if you wish to restructure thunderbird to a more efficient 'tree', contact me off-list and i will be glad to pass along an easy way to do so for easier backups. -- peace out. tc,hago.
