"Mailbox isn't a valid MBOX file" Error
Running currently two local mailclients: Outlook 2021 and Thunderbird 102.4.2
When using TB and remove a message on my main account, I get this error:
[CANNOT] Mailbox isn't a valid mailbox
On any other TB configured email accounts I can remove messages without any problems. First I thought that Outlook might block removal on messages, but the issue appears as well if I close that mail client.
Can you tell what is causing this problem?
Best regards, Jos Chrispijn
question how long is the folder path
Thunderbird has a path limit that can kick in around 192 characters and will report different errors?
Outlook does not seem to have this issue

This TBird error is all encompassing because it violates its own rules composing filter rules now.
TB when composing or editing a filter rule, now puts a "nobody" in the users local mailbox path, and I am losing quite a bit of incoming mail that should be sorted to a local mailbox to someplace like /dev/null because there is no home directory for nobody.
And the editor is not capable of editing that line to remove the offending text, so all you can do is delete that filter, leaving the high traffic mail in the inbox.
That is the stuff found on the ground behind the male of the bovine specie.
I'd comment on this bugzilla entry but drive crashes have lost my username and pw, but their software knows my email addy, the only one I have, and will not allow me to re-register claiming its already in use.
That's more of that sqishy stuff if fresh enough.
