Hi,
Under,
- Linux (Manjaro XFCE)
- Thunderbird78.8
- Account: hotmail
How can set on which folder, actually other partition and folder than OS system, the Thunderbird store the emails?
From a fresh install,
1/ I started Thunderbird,
2/ set my hotmail account and Thunderbird started downloading the messages and creating reproducing my email tree structure.
3/ Without waiting the full download I closed TB
4/ I checked .thunderbird folder
I see "profiles.ini" and "installs.ini" files as well as 2 folders
<random_string>.default
<random_string>.default-release
5/ In the profiles.ini I do see not see a relationship with my hotmail.
6/ under <random_string>.default-release/ImapMail/outlook.office365.com/
I see my hotmail account folder structure
7/ I cut & paste the <random_string>.default-release to the new partition (non OS)
The initial profiles.ini is
[Profile1]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=7xaim9be.default
Default=1
[Profile0]
Name=default-release
IsRelative=1
Path=eatrfwpe.default-release
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
Version=2
[InstallFDC34C9F024745EB]
Default=eatrfwpe.default-release
Locked=1
The modified one
[Profile1]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=7xaim9be.default
Default=1
[Profile0]
Name=default-release
IsRelative=1
Path=run/media/phx/MMedia/eatrfwpe.default-release
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=0
Version=2
[InstallFDC34C9F024745EB]
Default=run/media/phx/MMedia/eatrfwpe.default-release
Locked=1
I also modified installs.in as such
[FDC34C9F024745EB]
Default=run/media/phx/MMedia/eatrfwpe.default-release
Locked=1
I start TB, it request if I start with the "default-release" profile which I do,
finally it prompts "Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible"
Thanks
