Ok, got it -- weirdly enough, one has to use the CLI to address |
| 15 |
this. The GUI preferences dialog doesn't have a provision for |
| 16 |
making t-bird not create unwanted folders, but once they're created |
| 17 |
can be deleted in ~/.thunderbird/ and then they don't come back |
| 18 |
when t-bird is restarted. |

Now it's running with only the remote and local IMAP structures |
| 21 |
as they're supposed to be. |
