changed tools/account settings/local folders to point to another disk drive (D:) in Windows 11. (C: was 95% full) copied /user/appdata/thunderbird/Local/Profiles to D: changed Local to point to D: for local and restarted TB. All files in Local (87GB worth) was corrupted and unreadable. Tried restoring all of TB under user/appdata/Thunderbird/local/profiles and switched back to my user... pointer for original profiles. Still corrupted. Restored /user/appdata.... completely (many GBs) from backup BEFORE any changes. Started TB and Local folders ARE STILL CORRUPTED! Looks like something outside user\appdata\Local and user/appdata/Roaming etc is causing the problem. PLEASE HELP

PLEASE stick to one thread. And please clarify why you are using appdata\local . and is there an appdata\thunderbird\local\profiles folder? Please be explicit when you list folder locations because, so far, your posts are referencing folders of which I am unaware. Your issue is normally simple to address, but not if we do not see explicitly what you are doing. I respect that you are frustrated, but we do want to assist.

Helpful?
