VinceB,

I am running Thunderbird 45.5.1 for Linux. I do not have a popstate-1.dat "folder", but I do have a popstate.dat file in each of my email account subdirectories. The contents are pretty much the same:

# POP3 State File
# This is a generated file!  Do not edit.

So, I would bet that even if you delete this file (folder?), TB would recreate it. I am not sure what it does for TB, but POP is a type of email service and I would expect TB to store the state of a POP connection in this file.

HTH.

     What is the significance of a "popstate-1.dat" folder?


     One of the two Verizon email accounts and the Yahoo email account,
     each, show a "popstate-1.dat" folder. I have no clue how or why
     those folders were created. Both .dat folders are empty.


     Is there a way to delete these unwanted/unnecessary folders ?
