Can I move Thunderbird's Mail folder to another drive?

[mhein]

Hi All,
After having found Thunderbird at the time of Microsoft's announcement of the death of Outlook Express I immediately created a Folder which I Called "Outlook Express Import". I have many interests and didn't wish to lose any of this information then, now or in the future.
My problem is the amount of space this information has taken up and I'm wondering if there is some way to copy the Mail File to another drive and then use "about:config" to direct Thunderbird to this Drive/Mail Folder??
BTW. I am using the latest version of Thunderbird (52.9.1)

Many thanks in advance....Mark

Yes. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_m ... hunderbird if you just want to change where one account stores it mail. For example the "Local Folders" special account. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_p ... hunderbird if you want to move everything (your profile) to another location.
