And what i find misleading is that these (sc deleted) mails are invisible! There is space used, but the visible files and directories do not use that many room.
You only have to know where to look :-)
They are in the hidden directory ".thunderbird/".
that is the point, they are not! when i deleted about 17.000+ mails, there was nothing, but the space was still occupied, even after rebooting, as someone kindly suggested. If you would have read all the posts, you would have known that i discribed the path, given by filelight, where these mail would reside, but there was nothing! This was such an inburst on my property, that i decided to delete the whole directory.... Then i got my space back....over 2,5 GB returned to owner... I am going to set up an imap server at home... i just happened to change my old printserver, a asus tualatin terminator, with a 1Gh celeron, and only 512 ram, with an IBM, newer, and with 1.8Gh, 1024 Ram, wireless, in another room. This on i am going to use... I found myself a nice tutorial: http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/set_up_imap_on_your_mail_server/ The idea of having *all mail ever* at one point, accessible from all over the world, without cluttering space all over my machines speaks very loudly to me... ;-) -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.)
