Setting local network server mail folder as Local Directory
I have used Thunderbird as my preferred mail client for many years. Recent upgrade to Kubuntu 24.04 from 22.04.4 seems to have changed storage options. Thunderbird 128.1.0esr(64bit)
I store my mail on my local server so that I can access it from a number of different computers on the same network. If I set the Local Directory to that network folder it is changed to /run/user/1000/doc/5f5f8977/mail.xxxxxx.com and the mail is imported to my local disk in that folder.
However, when I restart the computer I have to set up the network folder again each time.
I have never had this problem before. How do I set the Local Directory permanently to the network server address? Thanks Bob

I have identified what is happening for me and a means of managing it, but not the cause or ongoing solution - others with more expertise than this old man needed for that.
If I shut the computer down with Thunderbird still active, when it is restarted the connection to the server is established correctly. However, if I close Thunderbird before I shut the computer down and it is restarted, the local directory link to the server is not re-established - leaving Thunderbird open and then restarting the computer again resets the link to the server correctly.
Somehow the closing of Thunderbird prior to shutdown deletes the connection even though it is still existing in prefs.js
I suggest the change is in the use of the snap programs used in the newest version of Ubuntu and I would think also by your close clone of it.
Thanks for your response Matt. I had a look at the link but its a bit too complex for me. I guess I'll just have to hope the next update of the snap will address the problem and live with it in the meantime.
