Trying to consolidate emails accounts into thunderbird for winxpsp3. With the import feature I tried to import emails from outlook express and choose option "everything". Well it imported everything on my logical disk as an email folder and now I can't delete them. They reappear after I delete some of them on the next bootup or install, Java won't even delete from it at all. Why did it import non email folders and in what or anyway can i get rid of these folder directories once anmd for all. I even did uninstall on 4 different versions and the same messed up folder tree still appears. I'd really like to keep usng thunderbird but this is maddening.

I stumbled upon the answer......somehow the program had used my logical D:\ drive for the local "nobody" folders rather than looking in the D drive for the mail folders. It was under this broad directive that it added every D folder I had under Local folders and I couldn't delete any folders from the local folders. It wasn't until I change that D to a more specific folder that the pervasive inapplicable folders finally went away and could stay deleted.

The first thing to learn with Thunderbird is data and program are stored separately. So uninstalling does about nothing if your problem is with data.

The second thing to learn is now your using Linux the same can be said of almost all programs.

Close Thunderbird open the profile folder delete foldertree.json Restart Thunderbird
