Hi, I am new to Linux and am trying to set up Thunderbird with my mail from the Thunderbird I had set up in Windows XP. I burned the Mail folder from my profile onto a disk and overwrote the new Mail folder in my Linux profile with my archived Mail (don't know if that was smart or not). Because now I think I have all my mail, plus some stuff that I thought I had deleted, but I'm not able to move anything to the trash. It says "...writing to folder failed" and then asks me to try compacting folders and emptying trash to get more space, which doesn't work.
I'm not sure exactly how to get a clean profile again, and what the problem is. I tried uninstalling, deleting everything in my Mail folder and reinstalling Thunderbird, but that just leaves me with and empty Mail folder which causes different problems.
Any help is much appreciated.
Apologies if this problem has already been answered in another thread, I couldn't find anything.
