I cant find the profile folder nor any folders relating to Thunderbird after installing under ElCapitan! Is 10.11 even supported at this point?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

Hi

You should be able to find your Thunderbird profile folder by;

  1. In Thunderbird, go to Help, Troubleshooting Information
  2. In the window that opens, under Application Basics, click on the Show Folder button, next to Profile Folder.

This will then open the profile folder for Thunderbird in your operating systems file management viewer.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.

Thanks Seburo! I was trying to find it in the library folder but since OS 10.1o/10.11 chooses to hide those files I couldnt find it, your solution is more elegany anyway:-) I also figured out how to show those hidden files again.
