Aha! You meant mail account folders. The empty ones might have previously contained messages, but the properties of the folders (or your general settings) said to delete messages that are older than some number of days. Others might have been accidentally created by you. The folders with right-pointing triangles have subfolders. In that case, the message count is only for the folder itself and excludes messages in the subfolders. If you wish, select an empty folder, right-click, and select delete to remove the folder. In my setup (possibly the default), that moves the folder into Trash; I must then repeat those steps to delete it from Trash. You can also delete non-empty folders the same way, but I suspect you want to keep those. -- David Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> President Trump now denies there are any tapes that recorded his conversations with ex-FBI Director Comey. Between when Trump hinted there might be such tapes and his denial, there was sufficient time to destroy any tapes. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
