I have several IMAP accounts that I just realized ... I went into the local directory structure to look at something else, and I've noticed - under one account - sent-1 trash-1 and one or two others.
I delete the sent-1, reload T/B and it just re-creates them.
They are NOT on the server.
Any help would be appreciated, as I'm baffled (as usual).

No, it was posted to Thunderbird General.LBiggles wrote:Is that not where I put it?
Files with the -1 suffix suggest that failed attempts were made to add an account. Unless you have space issues on the hard drive or are seeing some other problem, I would leave those files there to be sure you don't delete something you later find you need.

Re: IMAP accounts with several -1 files
That file naming suggests that there were at least two attempts to add that particular account to Thunderbird and to distinguish the files of the two "duplicate" accounts, the -1 was added as the second was created. It has no impact on the use of that account.
