Hi Richard,

That helped. Check Tools, Account Settings, and then all of your mail
account Server Settings and check the path of the "Local directory". If
none of them point to the unused folders, it should be safe to remove them.

My Comcast.net server points to the 6th folder, the one with all my emails.
The Local Folders, however, points to Local Folders, which trees down to
empty subfolders for Inbox, etc. and to the seven Comcast mail folders.

Not sure what to do.

The empty .sbd sub-folders are standard for all mail accounts. Best bet
is to leave them. I think they will reappear if you delete them.

I removed folders one through five with no apparent ill effects. I left
number six and the one named simply mail.comcast.net.

Why the Comcast mail folders reside under Local Folders, however,
remains a mystery to me.

Tools>>Account Settings>>(account in question)>>Server Settings

Click the Advanced button. Select the radio button for Inbox for this
server's account.

This should place the account's folders in a separate tree.

The Global Inbox is the default setting when you set up a new account in
TB. I suppose its to mimic OE's behavior, in my opinion, its a mistake.
