Share profile Windows and Ubuntu
Hi
I use Thunderbird on Windows (now 11) for 16 years now. Currently I have Thunderbird version 128.1.1. I would like to share profile between Windows and Linux (Ubuntu 24.04) installations on same machine. Profile folder is in a ntfs partition accessible both from Ubuntu (automatically mounted) and Windows. I managed to edit profile.ini file to point to right profile folder. On Windows evenrything workes fine. When I try to open Thunderbird in Ubuntu I get empty folder list and no account information in configuration. In the profile folder there ale many files created with names ending with corrupted are created (like folderTree.json.XXX.corrupt). Another try to open Thunderbird ends with message that profile is already in use. Any advice? Maybe I should debug starting Thunderbird (if yes let me know how to do that).
Thanks in advance. Marcin

When I had duel-boot I had problems if the system I wasn't using had only been hibernated rather than fully closed down.
There could also be problems with Linux and Windows not using the same systems for ownership and other attributes. For instance Linux doesn't have an Archive attribute and Windows doesn't have an Executable one.
Thanks for reply. I will just add that when I try to open Thunderbird for the first time with path to profile used for many years on Windows, there are many files with 0 bytes created with names: folderTree.json.corrupt folderTree.json-XXXX.corrupt handlers.json-XXXX.corrupt prefs-XXXX.js virtualFolders-XXXX.dat where XXXX are numbers from 1 to 9999.
Maybe I should run Thunderbird in a debug mode to see what is the problem? How can I do that?
For Troubleshoot Mode press Alt-h and choose it from the drop-down menu that appears.
