It seems like thunderbird has some difficulty with maildir:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Pluggable_Mail_Stores
so I'm still using mbox. Are the below errors simply because I wasn't running rmlist as sudo? It should be run as sudo?
thufir@dur:~$ thufir@dur:~$ rmlist alpha Not removing archives. Reinvoke with -a to remove them. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/rmlist", line 161, in <module> main() File "/usr/sbin/rmlist", line 116, in main mlist = MailList.MailList(listname, lock=0) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 130, in __init__ self.Load() File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 650, in Load dict, e = self.__load(file) File "/var/lib/mailman/Mailman/MailList.py", line 615, in __load fp = open(dbfile) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman/lists/alpha/config.pck' thufir@dur:~$ thufir@dur:~$ sudo rmlist -a alpha [sudo] password for thufir: Removing list info Removing private archives Removing private archives Removing public archives alpha public archives not found as /var/lib/mailman/archives/public/alpha.mbox thufir@dur:~$

Yes. All Mailman's command line scripts need to run as root or (preferably) as a user in Mailman's group (usually group mailman).
