How to ReLocate my Global Inbox, Sent, Drafts, and Templates from my C drive to my E drive

I am a new Thunderbird user. I installed Thunderbird and am in the process of configuring it. I have multiple email addresses both Imap and POP. I had setup my profile to save my POP emails, drafts, sent and templates under a directory on my E drive. Now, I am combining the POP accounts into a Global Inbox. However, they do not appear to have been saved into my E drive. So, I assume that they are on my C drive which does not have enough space. How do I configure and move my Global inbox, sent, drafts, & templates to my E drive?

I found the answer myself. For anyone who is interested: Tools>Account Settings>Local Folders>Local Directory make sure that it shows your preferred directory on your E drive or where ever you want.
