Problem deleting folders in Mozilla?

Postby Lisa Allen » Sun 05 Jan, 2003 2:33 am

I have tried numerous times now to delete a few folders in my Mozilla mail program and keep seeing them rebuilt every time I get off and back on the web. These are folders that I made and not the seemingly permanent ones that came up automatically, like inbox, sent, trash... Anyone have any clue as to what I am doing wrong??? I have dragged them to the trash, I have right clicked and chosen delete, I have tried to rename them trash........nothing seems to keep them from rebuilding every dang time I get back into Mozilla to browse. I am completely FRUSTRATED.

Thanks Lisa

Uhhh... Ramona, look at the UA String - its that of a Macintosh. Ramona is right of course, just you cant exactly use Windows Explorer on MacOS :) Just find the files in your hard drive and delete them.
