I am running Ubuntu 12.04.
I had /home on its own drive and that drive was getting SMART warnings.
I backed my data up, replaced the drive, restored, booted and everything
seems OK except my Thunderbird filters.
When a message comes in that has a rule to filter to a different folder
Thunderbird is now raising an error: "message could not be filtered to
folder because writing to folder failed". There was a bug but it is
being reported as repaired on 2014-10-14. And the only platform
mentioned is Windows.

Now, the messages are going to my Inbox just fine, and I can manually
drag them and drop them into the folder that I want them filtered to. So
I conclude that this is not a permission problem.
Best I could find with Google is that Mozilla suggests that the way to
go is to create a profile and move all my existing data to the new profile.

This seems like a Royal pain the kester.
Before I undertake this this, I thought I solicit ideas as to possible
solutions that are less onerous.
Thanks
