OK. I still seem to have connectivity issues w/BellSouth/ATT testing/working..... :(

Was able to install TB on this machine and send/rcv email. I am still digging/tweaking all TB settings. It seems that the ISP and Mozilla/Eudora have vastly different opinions of the "Require secure authentication" checkbox.(!) If I uncheck this box in TB, email flows as expected. If I tick this box in TB (as my ISP says I MUST!), TB errors immediately on "Check Mail." I am still trying to get my head around this........ :)

But, ATM, I am seeking insight into the basic install of TB. I was able to get TB to install (most) of its' stuff on my d: partition. However, somewhere else in the install script I missed a subtle ask about "where" I want TB to "put" all the data (email). ATM, and after I let TB scan/copy the current Eudora, I seem to have all the TB data living at:

C:\Documents and Settings\UID\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\yy98ry8o.default\Mail

>>C:\Documents and Settings\UID\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\yy98ry8o.default\Mail\Local Folders

>>C:\Documents and Settings\UID\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\yy98ry8o.default\Mail\pop.att.yahoo.com

Can I coerce TB to put this "email data" back on d:\ with the rest of the proggy (like Eudora)?

If not, I will get use to it I suppose....... :)

But, this now makes my normal use of SyncToy 2.0 a problem. I just do not know who/what I tell SC20 to copy/echo from TB to my NAS for daily/weekly backup...??? Much less whether to even use SC20 to copy/echo the TB program files on the d:\ partition............ :(

Sorry if this question seems weird. Since this recent ISP kurfuffle, most things normal have become a challenge.
Best,
Duncan
