Profile moved to OneDrive still depends on original %appdata% profile

I'm struggling with moving my TB profile to OneDrive to provide cloud-based backup/mirroring. I have no interest in sharing the profile with additional devices.

I created a new profile ("CloudBackup") and have copied the contents of %appdata%\Thunderbird\ to C:\Users\myname\OneDrive\Documents\Thunderbird\ and finally got TB to work again with a bit of tweaking of profiles.ini in the OneDrive copy. But there still seems to be a dependency on the old %appdata% profiles.ini. If I rename %appdata%\Thunderbird to %appdata%\Thunderbird_old to disable it, TB wants me to recreate all the data and structure (and locally saved emails -- lots of them). I suspect a problem in my new OneDrive\...\profiles.ini file, which follows:

[Install8216C80C92C4E828] Default=Profiles/ivk5n2cs.default Locked=1

[Profile1] Name=CloudBackup IsRelative=0 Path=C:\Users\rober\OneDrive\Documents\Thunderbird\Profiles\ivk5n2cs.default Default=1

[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/ivk5n2cs.default

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2

Can anyone help me correct my profiles.ini file, or whatever else may be causing my problem?

If you want data corruption and ongoing issues, continue with the move. It will end in data loss and tears is my view. As a backup it will be totally unreliable and quite possible resulting in your profile being corrupted to the point of being unrecoverable. Cloud synced storage locations are asking for trouble.

However, just to point out the obvious you are pointing to a location on your C: drive for the "CloudBackup" profile, so of course it will be required.

Thunderbird is hard coded to look in the %appdata%\Thunderbird folder to locate the profile ini file. You can not relocate it.

Matt's third paragraph is the key. TB looks in %appdata%\Thunderbird for both profiles.ini and installs.ini, but it doesn't require that the Profiles folder/directory be located there. So \Profiles\ can be moved pretty much wherever one likes; but profiles.ini must point to it appropriately.
