true, corrupt .msf files will mess up folder files.

what you went thru may be a way to correct them. '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;

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.
