Thunderbird not reading links after update
I am running the latest versions of Thunderbird and Linux mint 22.3, and for the fourth time files are not being read correctly after an update. I store email files on a separate SSD drive (just in case the main drive crashes). I have just updated to the latest version of Tbird. After every update it loses the connection to Local Folders. When I relink, it reads some folders but not others. I can see the missing folders via a file manager, but Tbird will not/cannot read them all. I have tried to relink several times, but no joy. If I move Local Folders to the main drive, will that solve the problem? Is it a Linux problem? Or a browser problem? Do I need to switch browsers?

I owe you an apology. My problem entirely. Found the error and fixed it. Nothing to do with TBird or Linux. Sorry I wasted your time.

First, I am not a Linux guru, but my understanding is that some Linux thunderbird distributions set the profile in different locations. What you describe seems like a profile switch. If you have Local Folders pointing to a separate drive, that should remain during an update. Thunderbird has just the one link for Local Folders, so all such folders must share that common link for Thunderbird to access them. Possibly, if you post screenshots of your Local Folders setting, plus locations of the files not accessible, some suggestions may be offered. thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. No need to apologize. Sometimes, just the act of posting the issue causes the brain to see the solution. :) Enjoy. :)
