This can be simplified to:
   %AppData%\Thunderbird\Profiles\<Profile name>\Mail\<mail server>\Inbox.msf
although that won't work if Thunderbird doesn't support environment

Sure?  Scandisk has options to specify whether to delete or not.
Chkdsk has a command-line option, as I recall, and in any event is
intended for automated repairs.
