Why does a directory named "file:" keep appearing in my home directory
by kevinbenko from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51M8W)
*: My "search-foo" is bad on me
On occasion a directory named file: keeps appearing in my home directory. It probably has something to do with my email client. I use Thunderbird 68.4.1 (64 bit).
The directory in question looks like:
/home/kevin/file:/home/kevin/.local/share/local-mail/
with three empty directories in the lowest level named cur, new, and tmp
*: How and why does this happen?
*: How can I stop this other than deleting them manually (or via a script)
*: Would you advise that I pin the testing version of Thunderbird to (maybe) fix this problem?
Thank you for any help you can give me, and have a good day!
