Why?
>Why all this BS?
It's not BS. It's just they way it works. If you had been using Mozilla
for a long time, none of this would be odd or unfamiliar.
>Why *.SBD?
These exist to support subfolders. A bit of Googling will provide more
details.
>Why do I have to CREATE the directory structure from within
>TB/Mozilla?
Because the structure is defined in prefs.js and not by the directories
themselves.
>All filesystems that I have seen provide for this.
? I didn't know Thunderbird was a file system.
>Why can't TB/Mozilla just read the directory structure and use it?????
Because. If you think this is an better way to do it, I recommend you
join the Thunderbird development team and contribute code.

That's the way icon view has always worked. When I do stuff like this, I
make a point of stripping the EAs. This prevents this kind of confusion.
If you had though to switch to details view, you would have noticed the
differing names.

Now that you have told me what you actually did, this is the expected
result. It is not an error for the longname to differ from the short
name. It's a feature I use often.
