Hello. I want to move Thunderbird installation folder from C: to D: because the C drive is almost full. I tried backing up the emails data (everything inside user/Roaming/Thunderbird folder), installing the app on D: and and copying the backup files into D: but it seems the app still loads files from C: drive.

If anyone can point me to some article with all the steps, please let me know. Thank you in advance.
