Ok, got it -- weirdly enough, one has to use the CLI to address this. The GUI preferences dialog doesn't have a provision for making t-bird not create unwanted folders, but once they're created can be deleted in ~/.thunderbird/ and then they don't come back when t-bird is restarted. Now it's running with only the remote and local IMAP structures as they're supposed to be. -- klaatu virada nicto
