With g's help the problem with deleting the Centos mail filter directory 
is solved.

The files were located by doing -

[root at box10 bobg]# find . -name Centos
./.thunderbird/1blpa2ks.default/Mail/pop.googlemail.com/Inbox.sbd/Centos
./.thunderbird/1blpa2ks.default/Mail/pop.googlemail.com/Trash.sbd/Centos

and then:
[root at box10 bobg]# cd 
.thunderbird/1blpa2ks.default/Mail/pop.googlemail.com/Inbox.sbd/

and then from there:

[root at box10 Inbox.sbd]# rm -fr Centos*

removed the unwanted directory from the mail filter list.

I think that's the essence of what he suggested, he may want to clarify 
this further. It took a few tries to understand the problem and arrive 
at those steps.

Tomorrow I will try the same logical procedure to remove several more 
that have been stuck there for some time. I think it is probably not a 
Thunderbird bug, but rather something that happened in the process of 
saving those files to the server and then using them to configure new 
Thunderbird installations, something I did perhaps?

One more problem solved with help from this list.

Thanks,

Bob
