Default 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 !!!

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.
