I was looking in the wrong place. I was looking in .pan/data/folders,
not .pan/data/messages/folders. Obviously a "left over". Is there a
definitive list of what files are used now and which can safely be
deleted?

This is still valid.

See above for location. The bug is that pan simply doesn't delete
messages or folders! No error messages, it just doesn't do it.

I looked up the word 'paranoid' in the dictionary. It said 'what do you
want to know for?' Interestingly, I couldn't find the word 'camouflage'
anywhere...                             "MadDanEccles" on alt.fan.goons
