My old hard drive has run out of room. I have another hard drive, with plenty of room. I would like all new emails to be stored on the empty hard drive. What setting do I change to make that happen?? Thanks!!!

I would not advise splitting your mails across disks. My recommendation is to move the entire Thunderbird profile to the new disk. But perhaps first delete all the mails you can that you do not need, especially big ones. You can find the big ones using the search dialog.
