Inwhat file did you do this?
Jt has no effect in /msgFilterRules.dat.
I can add the dot in the menu in the pane by using the renam function,
still no change.
These are just empty directories, there's nothing in them and clicking
on them in the menu
list does nothing except sit there and churn for a while. If it does
stop the names are still there
and can't be deleted using the GUI delete function

to be more clear,
1- *close* thunderbird
2- *do not* make changes in left pane of thunderbird
3- _open_ a file browser in detail mode and show hidden files
4- _open_ file browser to directory;
/home/bobg/.thunderbird/o111r0ba.default/Mail/
5- _prepend_ a "dot"/"period" to account name.
ie,
wildblue.net -> .wildblue.net
wildblue.net.msf -> .wildblue.net.msf
6- with thunderbird still closed, edit "msgFilterRules.dat"
in account directories you wish to remove filters from
associated accounts.
if you still do not understand or there is a problem, email me
off-list and send me your home phone number. i will call you and
walk you thru.
