No, not if you don't have problems you don't have to remove them. It just happens that that file gets corrupted under currently not yet known reasons (it is known that it gets removed, but the cause is still not totally clear). BTW, Compact folder should be run regularly, to not slow things down ... but it is usually run automatically (unless you have really old profile or changed that preference). Back to topic: Hope you have backed up the profile, so we can still reproduce. How do you stop thunderbird? Do you stop thunderbird at all or do you just log out/shutdown your system? - Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
