In order to maintain consistent file structure I want all Thunderbird data(messages, settings, etc) to be located on my data drive, which is a separate logical driver from applications. When I open Thunderbird folder properties I can see where the program is sending the folder input, but for some reason I cannot highlight and edit the address to point to where I want it to go. I have been searching within Thunderbird to find a data field that I can edit, but so far I cannot find one.

I think the best thing to do would be to move your entire profile.
