Perhaps. Copernic only claims to support Thunderbird up to version 3.1.x, I don't know whether Google supports later versions or not. I don't know whether the profiles.ini was removed in recent builds of Thunderbird. I'm using version 3.1.14, recently released by Mozilla -- since I won't be actually using Thunderbird, I didn't see reason for trying version 6.0.2. But, for what's worth, profiles.ini should be in %APPDATA%\Thunderbird -- that translates usually (for Windows 7, which I notice you are using) as: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird Appdata is a hidden folder, so you might want to turn on display of hidden files. By the way, Seamonkey does have a profiles.ini -- it's located at %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Seamonkey Oh... and I have recently noticed one thing... if you rename the Thunderbird executable (or delete it), Copernic will stop looking for emails on next boot -- it stops "believing" you have Thunderbird. Maybe that happens with Google too. I edited my Thunderbird profiles.ini to point to the Seamonkey profile as follows: Path=../Mozilla/Seamonkey/Profiles/[profile name] This was enough for Copernic. It could be that to fool Google you have to use a slightly different syntax -- perhaps the full path name... A caveat, though: after you edit profiles.ini, it's probably a *very bad idea* to EVER run Thunderbird. The mail stores may be identical, but the rest of the profiles are NOT. So it's possible, even likely, that Thunderbird could corrupt your Seamonkey profile. That's why I wanted to "neuter" Thunderbird by renaming the executable. I had to settle for deleting the shortcuts. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm. Unauthorized use will be prosecuted under the DMCA. -=-=- ...
