I have about 20 gbs worth of emails on my computer. They are currently stored in the Roaming folder (AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles). Is there any way to free up C drive space by storing these profile in a secondary hard drive or external hard drive and have all new/current emails stored there?
