How to clean INBOX file after change settings for IMAP
Hello everybody, I am using Thunderbird to access e-mail. I have all my accounts configured as IMAP. In each of the accounts I had checked in the Synchronization and storage section, keep all messages for that account on this computer. When I ran out of disk space, I deselected this option. But the INBOX files remained as large as before. How can I clean them?

You can safely delete the INBOX files (while Tbird is NOT running). When it restarts, they will not be recreated UNLESS you re-enable that option.
