Moving Thunderbird to another drive: it finds the accounts but not the local files
Up to now Thunderbird was installed on C:, while the profiles directory was on D: (including the local files). As C: was getting saturated, I installed the latest version of Thunderbird on D:, and used the Profile Manager to tell it to load the existing profile. Upon launching Thunderbird, it did find all the connected accounts and connect to them, yet didn't display any local files. However, when I look at the location of the local folders in the new installation, it points to the "old" local folders, D:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Mail\Local Folders, and all the local files I used to see in the previous installation are there. Yet they don't display in the "new" Thunderbid. How come? What should I do? Thanks for any help.

When I tried starting Thunderbird "normally" this morning, all worked fine: it found all the accounts as well as the local files folder.

Additionally: I quit (the new) Thunderbird, and reentered it later: it didn't find any account and asked me to create one profile.
In order to have it open, I had to run the command Thunderbird -P, and tell it to open Thunderbird, which it did. The accounts were displayed (but still not the local files).
Why do I have to do this again and again?

Later: meanwhile, I restored a previous version of profiles.ini and of installs.ini.
Now, thunderbird -P lauches thunderbird in such a way that it also sees the local files (phew!), but when I quit and click on the thunderbird icon, it doesn't find *any* account, still as abovementioned.
