Well my point was not that you needed a different program files folder but rather
that you needed to run the profilemanager to create a profile in a folder of your
choosing. The program & the profile are 2 separate entities and you need only backup
the profile portion.
As to you modem issue, they decided this without sending a tech to certify the line
as clean? Guess you'll have to play that game until the same problem exists with the
new modem. DSL seems inheriently fickle and the modems offer nothing like cable
modems do as far as status/diagnostics. In the end this is why I dumped Verizon DSL
in anger & switched to cable. Quite thankful they pissed me off so bad or I'd never
of known the local cable co was finally entering the 21st century!

I will start with creating a d:\Program Files directory. I can miss all
the recent interim email on TB for now. I think I understand your
backup calls for TB, but need to settle and re-read your share a few
more times.

unchecking it is disabling SSL. SSL is where you want to be and you
may find the non-SSL ceases to work down the road given that are
telling customers they must use SSL. Current version TB is 2.0.0.21
but a quick search did not net me any conclusive info concerning SSL
bugs.
Right now I am using SSL for pop3.gmail.com, but not using Secure
Authentication. Looks like gmail doesn't support SA despite doing SSL.
The reason your mail is under docs & settings for your user is that TB
automatically creates the profile the way, as do most windows
programs. You can use the -profilemanager switch when launching TB to
get it to bring up the profile manager where you can manually choose
where to create a profile's data folder. With that created you can
either import again or you may be able to just copy over the data from
the other TB profile.
Personally I have my TB installed on drive D:'s program files tree and
the profile under a data folder on drive P:. When I backup, I simply
shutdown TB, Zip up the profile tree & archive that.
Backup wise all the email currently is in:
> C:\Documents and Settings\UID\Application
> Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\yy98ry8o.default\Mail
