How do I move the Thunderbird Cache folder to a new location? Previously, I move the cache folder to another data drive from the system drive, SSD. Now, I need to move the cache folder again because the drive will no longer be the data drive. I need to move the Thunderbird cache folder to another non-system drive which serves as a data drive and where the profile is located. There is away to make the move but the documentation can't be found. I thought there use to be something in [Tools][Options][Advanced] that would facilitate the move. With other programs, a junction could be used to move the files off the SSD. The old junction if created could not be found using attrib. Any pointers in the right direction will get me going and would be great. OS. Win 7 Tbird 60.9.1

Please excuse my request. [Config editor] was found in [Tools][Options][Advanced][General] in the lower right-hand corner. Once in Config editor searching for cache revealed browser.cahce.disk.parent_directory. Changing the parameter was simple then. The Config editor was found at the last minute before quitting for the day.
