I found that I can delete the folders if I go into the folder on my HDD where
mails are stored. When I do that (and delete all the folders, .msf files and
extensionless files) TB won't list them any more.

This might be by design.

Reporter, does the issue still occur with the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported Thunderbird version 2 is 2.0.0.16)
