Dear Thunderbird for Linux Users,
Please apply the following recommended solution. This is the only real
solution to the missing folder pane in Thunderbird for Linux. All the
other solutions do not work.
In /home/<user>,
$ nano delete-all-msf.sh
Type in the following 2 lines:
#!/bin/sh
find . -type f -name *.msf -exec rm -f {} \;
Save the file.
$ su -
# chmod +x delete-all-msf.sh
# exit
$ cd
$ ./delete-all-msf.sh
Start Thunderbird for Linux.
The above solution is to delete all the corrupted mail summary files
and let Thunderbird for Linux rebuild the *.msf files.
No need for all that. As the affected user, simply do:
$ cd ~
$ find . -type f -name "*.msf" -delete
The first command changes to the user's home directory. The second
command finds all ".msf" files and deletes them. There is no need to
put this in a script. Does not require using "su -" to become root and
all the dangers inherent there.
