Re: [dba-dev] Thunderbird-Addressbook
Hi Mechtilde, Do you mean how to find the directory used for different profiles? I have two different user directories. Isn't that stored in the profiles.ini file found in the directory .mozilla-thunderbird Under Ubuntu for instance this is located at /home/user name/.mozilla-thunderbird there I have also /home/user name/.thunderbird Sigh. I always though that those distro-habit of changing such a folder name to something different is not a good idea, and only causing problems. No, there is no mechanism for declaring a different path for looking for the address books. It would be possible, technically, but if at all, then I would only implement this as configuration option. IMO, that's way too advanced for the average user to be presented at the UI. As always, fell free to submit an issue to ensure this request for enhancement doesn't get lost, though I doubt the core team will put any effort into this issue in the foreseeable future.

Re: [dba-dev] Thunderbird-Addressbook
Hi Mechtilde, I want to create a connection to my Thunderbird addressbook under Linux (Debian) I choose File - New - Database - Choose a connection to an existing database - Thunderbird Addressbook Then I can choose Browse and see 2 addressbooks. My problem now is: I want to know where (in which directory) it browse. My suggestion is to choose the right path to the dirctory myself. This would probably mean larger changes in the driver. Also, I am not sure this is really desired. Finally, isn't it that you need to know the *profile* whose address data you access, instead of the concrete location? I strongly suppose Joe Average would be seriously overwhelmed if we asked him to browse for his Thunderbird Address Book files - he might not even know the location of his TB user profile, not to mention the AB files.
