Then it will install program and auto set up the profile in the default location so it's easy to locate when you want to move it.

Windows OS C://Users/user name/Appdata/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/

You should find the settings on the Wanadoo website, but Thunderbird does know a lot of servers and when creating the mail account, it will try to locate the IMAP server settings. You can always manually edit if required.

Not sure if you use orange.fr

IMAP protocol

• Server name: imap.orange.fr
• port 993
• Connection Security: SSL/TLS
• Username: full email address
• Authentication method: Normal Password

SMTP

• server name: smtp.orange.fr
• port 465.
• Connection Security: SSL/TLS
• Username: full email address
• Authentication method: Normal Password

Password should be the same one you use to access your webmail account.

Moving profile to a different drive

You must Exit Thunderbird program before doing the following.

re : C:/users/xxx/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird

The 'Thunderbird' folder should remain in that location - in the 'Roaming' folder as it contains the information - 'profile.ini' file which tells Thunderbird program where to look for each 'profile'. Do not move it.

On other drive eg: D: drive create a 'TBIRD' folder (so you do not confuse the original 'Thunderbird' folder with 'TBIRD' folder) and in that 'TBIRD' folder create a 'Profiles' folder. So you have same structure which is logical and would allow for adding another profile name folder if necessary.

Access:C:/users/xxx/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles folder Copy the 'profile name' folders which typically have this structure : 123abc4.default paste the copied 'profile name' folders into the drive:/TBIRD/Profiles folder.

At this point Thunderbird has no knowledge about where you are choosing to relocate your profiles. Start 'Profile Manager' You may already have been using this in order to select which profile to run. But in Windows OS, in search type 'Run' and select 'Run app' Then type: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -p note there is a space before the -p click on OK

Profile Manager opens. click on 'Create Profile' and give suitable name. Click on 'Choose folder' and then locate the appropriate 'profile name' folder in 'TBIRD/Profiles' folder.

You may need to repeat this 'create profile' method for each profile name folder you have copied over to 'TBIRD'/'Profiles' This will update the 'profile.ini' file to point to correct new location on other drive/TBIRD/Profiles/<profile name> Then select which 'profile' you want to open and click on 'Start Thunderbird'.

Once all is working correctly. Exit Thunderbird Access:C:/users/xxx/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles folder Move the 'profile name' folders to another location on external - perhaps use them as a backup. So that 'Profiles' folder is now empty and releases space on the C drive.

Start Thunderbird check the 'Account Settings' > 'Server Settings' for account look bottom right for 'Local directory:' and it should be pointing to the imap mail account where ever you moved the profile. check the 'Local Folders' is also pointing to correct location (where ever you move the profile data) in Mail folder.

If required you can use the 'Browse' button to select correct location. If unsure if it's correct - post info / upload images to show new location of profile name folder and image showing what it says in 'Local directory:...'
