Cannot move Thunderfbird data base from C-drive (no space) to E-drive
I have been trying for 2 days to do:
1. Move the Thunderbird data base to E-drive from c as there is no space on C. I allow thunderbird to install - no option for data base location and it puts it on c-drive my default. I then copy all the files to e-drive and then it wants to re-install again. Same PC.
2. I cannot get mailstore to convert pst as the Outlook function in Thurnderbird does not or I cannot get it to work.
I am complete novice and this is all to complex. I live in remote place in Austrialian out back
Please Dan

- once installed to c, exit thunderbird - locate accounts in profile - imapmail for imap accounts and mail folder for pop accounts - copy the accounts to drive e - start thunderbird and click account settings and then server settings - click link at bottom line that points to account and change to the drive e setting - close and restart thunderbird and all should be ok you can now delete those folders in the C profile
I cannot help with pst.
Hi David, Thank you. Every time I do something like that it asks me to start again. All my emails get taken from the server and I have to delete/deal etc with them all over again. It has happened to me about 3 times and not happy.
I went to server setting and at the bottom it says Local Directory:
C:\Users\X299-UD4-144\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\g4lsi6z7.default-esr-1\Mail\webmail.highway1.com.au
My thinking is that I have to copy all this to say: E:\Thunderbird\Profiles\g4lsi6z7.default-esr-1\Mail\webmail.highway1.com.au.
Then change the local director using Browse?????
Is this right?
