> The simplest method is to move the .thunderbird folder onto the new drive and link to it from the system drive. The not-so-simple method is to copy out the particular folder and move it into .thunderbird. Or maybe to go into .thunderbird on the system drive and make a symlink inside that folder to the e-mail accounts folder on the new drive. Maybe I'll try that. You can be sure I'll back everything up--I'm getting a portable HDD with 4 TB of capacity that I'm going to use as an all-around system backup.
On rebuild I did a first time start of Thunderbird for the user so it creates the users [abcdefgh].default file in /home/user/.thunderbird, at which time I reloaded the add-on etc. etc. but canceled signing into any account or setting up any such. Purpose was simply to accomplish two things 1) load any add-on such as lighting and 2) was to create the [abcdefgh].default file in /home/user/.thunderbird. Once this was done /then/ I removed the existing /home/user/.thunderbird directory and linked the /Crypt/user/.thunderbird directory on the "Crypt" drive. Start Thunderbird again and it will check compatibility of add-on and then everything should look/work the way it did before the rebuild. Thunderbird will see the older [stuvwxyz].default file and operate as if nothing changed. Life saver given how I had everything set up and my filters were... a lot. Go through your accounts (check for mail) and ensure all the log-in function.
