"McAfee Spam" Folder and "popstate-1.dat" Folder

2016-12-18 Thread VinceB.


 Using Tbird 45.5.1 on Windows10x64 desktop


 I have two Verizon, one Gmail and one Yahoo email accounts
 registered with Tbird.

_


 A.


 About one month ago, I went through the task of deleting McAfee
 software, using their own s/w tool from their website to do the
 deletion/removal.


 Other than the Gmail email account, each of my other email
 accounts include, in the left-hand pane, have a folder entitled:
 "McAfee Anti-Spam".  Both of those folders are empty.


 Is there a way to delete these unwanted/unnecessary folders ?


 B.


 What is the significance of a "popstate-1.dat" folder?


 One of the two Verizon email accounts and the Yahoo email account,
 each, show a "popstate-1.dat" folder. I have no clue how or why
 those folders were created. Both .dat folders are empty.


 Is there a way to delete these unwanted/unnecessary folders ?

 I must confess that I have not simply tried to delete these
 folders.  I supposed that it is better to ask first !

Not just the patience of a saint, but a sense of humour as well!

Subject: What should be a simple Question



Dear Sir or Madam:



I am getting tired of MS Office, and OO appears to be a possible
alternative, However.  I have years of documents (Word, Excel, Outlook,
PowerPoint) that I need.



This should be a simple question, Will OO read Office 2010 files?  If not,
there is no way I can dump thousands of documents to .txt files so they 
can

be read.



I hope the answer is yes, .

Please report back to us your experiences on LibreOffice.. Is it compatible
with your old AOO files and MS docs?. I've heard somewhere AOO is no longer
being supported, and that's the reason why bugs and fixes are not being
developed.

As long as there are no compatibility issues, I'm ready for the leap too.

Please stop spreading rumors unless you have verified that they are true.

I am going to espouse heresy here.

I have used OO about 4 years.  When I started, it was a  reasonable
alternative to the Micro$loth product.

Over that time period, IMHO OO has gone downhill.  Too many bugs not fixed;
too many problems ignored.  (The user profile / dictionaries /. spell check
being only the most common one.)  Its a  result of too few volunteer
developers.  I don't have those development skills, so I can't help with
those issues.  I am a  tool user, not a  tool builder.  I think I have
found a  tool  which suits my needs better, that being LibreOffice.  I am
in the process of running both suites in parallel and think that I will be
eliminating OO sometime after the New Year.

Libre Office is available at:

www.libreoffice.org

LibreOffice is the same price as OpenOffice, i.e. free.

I have no economic or proprietary interest in either OpenOffice or
LibreOffice.  Just a fellow looking for a  better tool.

So how, please, do you explain:

o https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Product_Release . Is 12 October 
2016 not recent enough for you? LibreOffice happens to be twenty-two 
days younger; is that so different?


o https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.1.3+Release+Notes

(Actually, I hope that bugs are *not* being developed!)
