TBird Profile Will Not Connect
Needed to move TBird profile from c: to d:
Used TBird.exe -p to work on it. moved all of the single profile to D: successfully. but now TBird -p will not allow me to change the profile to D: I just discovered that I need to delete all profiles without deleting data the create a new profile pointing at the new location. (Maybe ???) However when I open TBIrd there is nothing there. Now I am trying to ignore what the HELP says. I am selecting not the Profile folder but the actual folder that I think holds all the info. Finally it looks like I have it up. What a STRUGGLE. Why cannot those mozilla idiots AUTOMATE this directly from TBird !!! |

Why cannot those mozilla idiots AUTOMATE this directly from TBird !!! Edit "profiles.ini", a file just above the original profile folder. C:\Documents and Settings\user Name\Application Data\Thunderbird\profiles.ini C:\Documents and Settings\user Name\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default [General] StartWithLastProfile=1 [Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 === relative to where profiles.ini is located Path=Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default Paths can be specified as Relative or Absolute. This is an absolute storage area. D:\some\can\of\beans\xxxxxxxx.default In the profiles.ini text file, I could add this to the end of the file. [Profile1] Name=NewestProfile IsRelative=0 Path=D:/some/can/of/beans/xxxxxxxx.default Then, when you bring up the Profile Manager, you should see two entries. I've done this before, but I think the file is on an OS drive that isn't currently connected. Paul |
