My profile location is different to my mail accounts location. How do I bring everything back into a single profile location?
TB 115.10.1 I have several accounts which all work fine, however when I go in to Troubleshooting information and open my profile folder it is only 2Gb in size. All my mail accounts and associated files are located in a separate 92Gb profile directory with the same profile name (I know where it is). I want to consolidate all this information in to a single profile directory on another faster SSD on my machine.
Creating a new profile mapped solely to a copy of the 92Gb profile folder copied to the new SSD doesn't work -no email accounts display.
If I then add only the set of files in the main directory of my 2Gb profile in to the newly located copy of the 92Gb profile on the faster SSD all works fine, however if I add a new mail subfolder and I can see the name of that new sub folder is located back in the original 92Gb profile on the old hard drive.
How do I fix this? The working 2Gb profile folder is mapping all my mail and accounts to a different location and I can't find out where TB gets the information telling it where the main mail store is. I want to move this main mail store in to the location of my working profile and move the lot to the faster SSD. Thanks for any suggestions.

At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button ≡ > Account Settings > Server Settings > Message Storage The 'Local Directory' setting has the full path to your storage location. This is on a per account basis.
When the storage location is outside the regular Thunderbird profile, someone (you?) did do this deliberately. Why did you do this in the first place?

Ahhh yes, thanks for that. I had a TB crash on an update about a year ago. After the update no messages displayed and I had to do a restore. Mulitple new profiles were created and the mail data pulled from various backups. I've got 15 email accounts within that main profile going back to 2001. I'd forgotten all about the local directory location in relation to mail storage. Very handy thanks.
