I googled around a bit and found where someone had posted that doing this kind of thing as a root user will make the Thunderbird package from the system I attempted this on (not BLFS specific, just in general) would be inoperable. I was able to access all of the e-mails as the root user, but not as the normal user. The only reason I was root user in the first place was per the BLFS instruction to run /user/bin/thunderbird as root "to create additional files in the usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5.0.2 directory.
I'm not really sure what the problem is as you've described it. But if you just want to point your profile somewhere else, you can try this. $ cat ~/.thunderbird/profiles.ini [General] StartWithLastProfile=1 [Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=1elsrg7x.default Try changing [Profile0] to "IsRelative=0" and "Path" to the location of the shared profile. As long as your user has write privelages, then it should work. Actually, I haven't tried this, but that's what seems like the correct thing to do. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
