Thunderbird filters -

[Bob Goodwin ~ Zuni, Virginia, USA]

I sortpop3mail into directories with Thunderbird which works well for 
me. However when I unsubscribe from a list I often want to remove the 
filter's directory is shown in the Inbox Menu at the top left. So I 
right click on the directory and choose delete from the menu, it asks 
for reassurance that I really mean delete it, I click on ok, the menu 
closes and the directory is still there, delete does not delete it. The 
list of directories grows longer with time and all I can do is rename 
the directories with xx's so it sorts them to the bottom of the list!

This may be related to my saving the .thunderbird Mail file for years 
mainly to keep the filters I have ... This is Thunderbird 31.5.0 in up 
to date Fedora 21/22 and earlier.

Am I the only one seeing this? My efforts with Google have not been much 
help.

Bob
