My Debian, Thunderbird, and message filters are working very well. :-)
My experience is that enough garbage appears in thunderbird profiles
after several years of usage. Unsubscribed NNTP groups, IMAP caches that
thunderbird considered corrupted, so another one with -1 suffix appear,
server-side changes of folder name encodings, etc.
One complaint is that Mozilla included whitespace in file and directory
names, which we all know causes grief when using the shell:
.thunderbird/dpchrist/Mail/Local Folders
While thunderbird is not running, you may try to rename the profile
inside prefs.js and the directory on the disk. I have no idea if global
search index will be affected by such rename.
.thunderbird/dpchrist/Mail/Local Folders/Unsent Messages.msf
.thunderbird/dpchrist/Mail/Local Folders/Unsent Messages
It should be possible to use another folder for this purpose.
.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he.net/Deleted Messages.msf
Thunderbird may use another folder. Perhaps server might insist that
such name must exist. It should be possible to unsubscribe from this
folder, but I would not call it a bullet-proof solution.
