Thunderbird will create its profile, or look for a profile under

Users\<user account>\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

Where is your Users folder and where is your profiles.ini? I suspect it is still on C:\.

There is a profile.ini on C: that redirects to the original profile on D:, but I still have no Local Folders.

Where is your current 'Local Folders' located? Are you pointing to wrong directory?

Right click on 'Local Folders' in Folder Pane and select 'Settings' Local directory: this should point to the location where your actual 'Local Folders' is stored, but is it pointing to the thunderbird default location instead ? click on 'Browse' button to select the correct location. select folder and click on 'Select folder' button. click on 'OK'

I tried that and still no go. (Thanks for the help.)

Yes, but what did it say under Local Directory?

It is not pointing to the default location; it is pointing to where the default profile was on the (now) D: drive before I moved it to the new C: drive. I do not see anything there that looks remotely like my old Local Folders. I can only believe that the file/folder is somehow corrupted; that is why I thought I should/could rebuild it.

Any more thoughts from anyone?

re :There is a profile.ini on C: that redirects to the original profile on D:

Please post some images that show the D drive contents of

1. 'Profile' folder
2. 'Profile name' folder (usually 'xxxxxxxx.default' where x's are letters and numbers)
3. 'Mail' folder
4. 'Local Folders' folder

Note: please make sure the 'Size' column is visible and list of all files and folders within each folder are also visible.
