I want to move my Thunderbird email location to another hard drive on the same pc (Win10). I closed T'bird and copied the profile file (and its sub files) to the new location. In account settings/local directory, I browsed to and selected the new location (i.e. to the end of the complete string) and did the same for the local directory in server settings, so both directory location boxes show the new location.

Any idea what else must I do because a) new emails still automatically get stored in the old location and b) if I delete or alter the original profiles file, Thunderbird will not start up as its looking for the old location. There must be a setting that I have yet to change - any idea?

Your help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
