System integration (Windows search) is under Options/General in TB 78. Or, type integration in the search box.

thanks so much sfhowes- I don't know why I didn't see that. I'm not sure if that did stop the new wdseml files, though since integration was already unchecked. If I erase these files from the profile, will they disappear from there but still seem to be in the folder pane- there are thousands- anyway of getting rid of them since I believe they are one reason TB is slow to start. I have the same version on another computer and these files do not appear in the file pane- I can't seem to find what is different. Thanks for any insights

See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1027528 for how to remove the wdseml files.

Thanks again - I did finally find inbox.mozmsgs. Deleted but all those files were still in file pane. I resolved the problem by assigning the files we use (inbox, sent, drafts etc) as favorites then filtering the file pane for them.
