How can I move all of my existing emails (about 20GB) to a secondary internal hard drive and have all future incoming emails stored here?
How can I move all of my existing Thunderbird emails (about 20GB) to a secondary internal hard drive and have all future incoming emails stored here - I'm running out of space on C drive
Thank you

That looks good, except that I'd expect to see a profile name, in the form of nnnnnnn.default, where nnnnnnn represents a pseudo-random string:
Path=E:\Z - THUNDERBIRD\Profiles\nnnnnnn.default
I'm wary of spaces in pathnames. Sometimes you might need to put quotes round it, other times not. No spaces, no doubts. ;-)

Move your profile to that drive.

Move your profile to that drive. See: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb
So the .ini file might read:
[General] StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=E:\Z - THUNDERBIRD\Profiles
Is that correct for location of:
E:\Z - THUNDERBIRD\Profiles
IsRelative=0 in your case. You are giving a full absolute pathname, hence it's not relative. ;-)
Thanks so it would be:
[General] StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=0 Path=E:\Z - THUNDERBIRD\Profiles
......
Should have mentioned when I started the thread I'm an inexperienced home computer user!
