Deleting folder
When you install Thunderbird it gives you "Extra Folders" Such as "ALL MAIL" "IMPORTANT" and "STARED" my question is can I delete these and not delete the email messages they contain? They contain some very important email which are in my other folders and I do not want to lose them,, So if I delete them does it delete the emails that are in there and also in other folders?
Thank you very much

That is probably a Gmail account. You do not need them and the general recommendation is to unsubscribe from them.The messages stored there are duplicates of your other mail folder. By unsubscribing, you reduce disk space 50% and computer resources for sending and receiving. Unsubscribing does not delete the messages.

David Thank you very much for your time and help,, I looked into the settings HOWEVER I CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE WHAT YOU SENT ME:(II cut and pasted from the link you provided but the picture did not or does not appear with the following) Subscribing to or unsubscribing from folders (labels) You can configure which folder (and its messages) you want to display and download in Thunderbird by changing folder subscriptions. By default, all folders are displayed and downloaded, as described above. To change folder subscription, right-click the account name and select Subscribe…
subscribe gmail folders Uncheck any folders that you don't want to display in Thunderbird.
Can you please tell me exactly how to find that section in which you are telling me about,,
I am sorry but as I grow older I seem to lose even more computer skills than I once had,, honesty in 1968 I was selected by IBM to be in a small group to be trained in Computers,, this was way before BASIC or other languages everything was binary codes and I even taught computers in school in the later 70s early 80s (back when Apple IIe first came out),,,, yes a long time ago,, but now I am a feeble old man it seems.
Thank you and I hope you can help me more
Thanks very much
Dennis (and yes you are correct it is Gmail however I have been using Thunderbird for years and have all my addresses and past (SO VERY IMPORTANT) emails on (in) Thunderbird so I prefer to use it when I can instead of going to Gmail
Again thanks
Ok, highlight the account in the left-side folder pane. then rightclick and click 'subscribe' and untick the unwanted folders. Let me know of any problems.
