Hi,

I have Thunderbird Release 91.5.0 (64-bit) on a 2014 mac mini running High Sierra.

The program and emails in three profiles are on my internal hard drive. I need to move it all to my external mac hard drive to free up space. I am using the same computer.

The instructions via the link below are a bit confusing as I am not using a new computer. I would like the app to stay on my internal hard drive, but have the profiles and emails on the external hard drive so that I can continue to use them. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer

I copied the Thunderbird folder from the internal to the external drive. I then deleted the internal Thunderbird folder.

I then updated the profiles.ini and then restarted TB, but it does not show me the emails. It created another TB folder on the internal drive.

Here is the original profiles.ini.

[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/2v60fli0.default Default=1

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2

[Install712DAF5A23ABECDC] Default=Profiles/2v60fli1.default

Here is the updated profiles.ini

[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=/Volumes/ExternalMacHD/Thunderbird/Profiles/2v60fli1.default Default=1

[General] StartWithLastProfile=1 Version=2

[Install712DAF5A23ABECDC] Default=Profiles/2v60fli0.default

I am usually fairly good at doing this kind of thing, but my elevator is not making it to the top floor on this one. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

David

Copy the profile folder to the external drive, then create a new profile from Help/Troubleshooting, about:profiles, and in the new profile window, Choose folder... and browse to the folder on the external drive.
