Thunderbird email

Profile location: C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\


Another copy of thunderbird is running error:

Look for a profiles.ini file. that file tells thunderbird where the profile is. Edit that if you are going to copy or move the profile. I think that it is in the Application data folder or Thunderbird filder.

Also, there is a lock file to keep more than one instance from running at a time. That lock file is created when thunderbird is opened and deleted when it is closed. Don't copy the profile with thunderbird open. Delete parent.lock file

Remove the profile lock fileThe application may have shut down abnormally, leaving the lock in place. To fix this, open the profile folder and delete the file,
"parent.lock" (Windows),

For Windows: If you attempt to delete the "parent.lock" file and receive the error, "Cannot delete parent: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable", restart the computer and run the error-checking tool Chkdsk (Windows 2000, XP) or ScanDisk (Windows 98, ME) [5].
