I removed some old IMAP accounts via Account Settings > Remove Account. But I see that the IMAP files (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, .msf, .sbd, etc.) for the accounts are still in /Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/*.default/ImapMail. What is the proper way to delete these old account files?

Just deleting the files won't screw up Thunderbird's database-keeping, will it? It'd be a shame if TB has some kind of hidden ties to these files.

When the corresponding account has been removed, there's no association to Thunderbird anymore. The files are kept on purpose in case an account has been deleted by error. You should be certain that you don't need those files anymore though. It probably wouldn't hurt to create a backup of your profile prior to deleting the files either.
