I've been trying to move my Moz profile to a new directory. The
"obvious" procedure I've followed is:
1. With Moz profile manager, rename current profile, chuck, to
chuck_old. This leaves my profile data in
oldlocation/chuck/abcdefgh.slt (say).
2. Create new profile in desired location, with name chuck. This
creates directory structure in newlocation/chuck/zyxwvuts.slt (say).
3. rm -rf newlocation/chuck/zyxwvuts.slt/*
4. cp oldlocation/chuck/abcdefgh.slt/* newlocation/chuck/zyxwvuts.slt
5. remove chuck_old from profile manager.
At first, this method appeared to work. However, as a check, I then
"hid" my old profile (renaming oldlocation/chuck to
oldlocation/chuck_old). Then, Moz couldn't find my mail messages. It
did find many things, though, like my mail account info. Just the
mailbox contents were missing. My newsgroup subscriptions were there.
So, apparantly, the location of the mailbox is hardwired, somehow. I
think some other things were hardwired, too.
Can anyone tell me the correct procedure to move my mailbox?
