I accidentally changed the storage location on thunderbird on windows and it wont let me change it back. I tried importing the profile, and that didnt work, and i tried changing it back in the server settings but that also doesnt work and i get the error below.

What did you change it to? What do you mean, it won't let you change it back? It is an editable field.
