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.
