it looks like Mozilla is suprising all of us, at least me on this specific issue. There is obviously no need to open a upstream bug on this issue, Mozilla has fixed this by adding a option to remove all relevant files if you want to remove a whole account in your Thunderbird with the release of version 52.0. https://www-dev.allizom.org/en-US/thunderbird/52.0/releasenotes/ Note the second NEWS phrase. So we can close this report once we have a successful build and upload of the upstream version 52.0. Regards Carsten
