Relocate TB data only to different folder
Good day, I have a drive for programs (C:), and a drive for program data (D:) - for all my programs. I'd like to put the TB data (ie inbox, etc) in my drive for program data. I have this for Outlook (program on C:, outlook.pst on D:), however I am replacing Outllook with TB. I reviewed the support pages, but there is no clear procedure for this - only replies on fixing users failed attempts. Thank you for your assist.

Nice reply!! A little clarification if you will though - Re. "-copy the account and place on drive d." (yes, I use POP) Am I correct to aassume that the 'account' is located at : C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird ? - or is the account a sub-floder inside the directory : C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird ?
Again, Thanks

The simple way to do that: - add the account normally on drive c. - exit thunderbird - copy the account (in Mail folder if POP and in Imapmail folder if IMAP and place on drive d - start thunderbird - rightclick account, click 'server settings' pane - at bottom, click 'browse' button to locate and select the account on drive d - exit and restart thunderbird - if all is well, then exit thunderbird and delete the account folder on drive c.

The profile folder is a folder inside ...appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles. The easiest way to reach it is to click help>moretroubleshootinginformation, scroll down to profile folder, click 'open folder', then exit thunderbird and the Mail folder is right there.
Thank you David. Sorry for this late reply, still learing the reply system. n16
