Since I want to use Thunderbird Portable from an USB flash drive the drive letter and path could change from time to time resp. computer to computer.
When I go now to Account Settings----Account---->>Server Settings
then the local directory is specified as ABSOLUTE path:
D:\tools\ThunBirdPort\Data\profile\Mail\pet345@hotmail.com
I would like to change it to a RELATIVE path starting from Thunderbird.exe by "go up two directory levels then descend into Data\profile\Mail\pet345@hotmail.com".
According to common Unix/linux (and oftentimes Windows) standards this can be specified relatively by double dots like:
..\..\Data\profile\Mail\pet345@hotmail.com
Unfortunately this is NOT accepted by Thunderbird.
Is there a workaround?
