Error message Filelink Provider from WEBDAV is not properly configured

Whenever I open Thunderbird on my desktop, I get a message that "FileLink Provider from WEBDAV is not properly configured," or something like that (hard to write it down when it just flashes on the screen for a few seconds!).

I have no idea what that means. I may have used FileLink in the dim dark past, but I don't recall what it's even for, let alone what to do about this error message, if anything.

Shall I just ignore it, or is there something I should do to resolve the matter? Thanks!

christ1, I looked at Filelink providers on my account, and I had WebDAV listed twice, both indicating that the account wasn't properly configured, but it gave no information on how I could correct the problem. I deleted both, since I can't remember using Filelink for years, so it must not be very valuable to me! If I ever need a Filelink provider, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Thanks for your help!
