For years now, Thunderbird downloads two sets of folder files. Is there a way to have them just send one? I delete all these each time identical email are foun

There are two files: top one and correct one at bottom of top file... top file not needed, but whereas email arrives in it, it adds to bulk of files until I delete all from the 'extra' files. It has tommjo...ix.net in blue on top indented blue inbox (15) in blue [right now... number of new messages] Draft (black ink) Drafts ( " ) Sent ( ") Archive ( ") Bulk Mail (1) (also in black ink but with green barrel.., never had that in regular local folders set up below all this) [shows 1 bulk mail today] Junk (also in black with green barrel) Trash (in blue (5) in there today.) Then there is the regular Local Folders headline with my regular folders.
