I converted my email address from pop to imap using your instructions. It is working fine. I went to look at the unix files and noticed that there is a Trash file that is 34.7mb. I have deleted all trash and compacted folders. The big file (on my mac mini) is at: /Users/macuser/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/0vm5fdb7.default/Mail

I am on Thunderbird 45.8.0, Mac os 10.6.8. My mac is too old to update the os.

Is that the correct path? I'd expect you have folders underneath mail, like 'Local Folders', and a folder for your old POP account. The Trash folder should be underneath one of them.

I missed the last folder. It is at .../Mail/box386.bluehost.com/Trash

I believe box386.bluehost.com was the old incoming mail server. There are also mail files(Trash and Unsent Messages) under 'Local Folder' as you suggested. They are empty, I guess since these folder are empty on my email accounts. If I have multiple emails from the same email server, are they all stored in one file? Do you think it is ok to delete the Trash file under box386.bluehost,com?

You should know it was the old incoming mail server. You should now have a folder underneath .../ImapMail with a similar name. That should belong to your current IMAP account.

If you're certain .../Mail/box386.bluehost,com did belong to the old POP account, and in the process of creating the new IMAP account, and if there's no mail you want to keep underneath .../Mail/box386.bluehost,com, you can delete the entire folder box386.bluehost,com. Make sure Thunderbird is closed when doing that.

All messages in a (Thunderbird) folder are stored in a single file in the file system.
