On my system Mint 17.3 The folder .thunderbird contains the following information.

home helmut .thunderbird 2byjcufj.default

home helmut .thunderbird b6asjx4g.default

home helmut .thunderbird Crash Report

home helmut .thunderbird jk8vfkpk.default

home helmut .thunderbird tuz4ev16.default

home helmut .thunderbird v71nvpbq.default

home helmut .thunderbird profiles.ini

[General]

StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]

Name=default

IsRelative=1

Path=v71nvpbq.default

I do need only one profile. Which one is the one used last. Can I delete the others? What is the meaning of the statements in the ini file? Is an explanation available somewhere?

I can confirm that my profile folder in use has the name v71nvpbq.default.

Yes I will back up all the others and then delete them. I have been using Thunderbird for quite a few years transferring from Windows XP to PC Linux OS then various versions of Linux Mint. I believe every time a new profile was created. Thanks to your help I know better now. Excellent help!

Start Thunderbird.

To verify your current profile folder: At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button , then select Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Directory.

This will open the current profile folder in your file manager. The profile folder should match the one referenced in profiles.ini: v71nvpbq.default Please confirm.

Assuming your profile folder matches the one referenced in profiles.ini: If you're certain your current profile has all your mail, you can delete all other profile folders, i.e. the ones not referenced in profiles.ini. Creating a backup prior to deleting probably would be a good idea. How you managed to create that many profiles, I have no idea.

The contents of profiles.ini should be self-explaining. Also see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file
