sorry, that I mention bookmark.html in that bug. But I think it's the same problem.

ok...

If I want to devide or move my profile, I can manage it with editing in prefs.js
I only have to change the directory-informations - eg.

C:\Windows\Profiles\...\mozilla\profiles\USER\XXX.slt
to
X:\mozillla\USER2\YYY.slt

All works fine, when moving the whole profile. But, if I want to divide the
Profile, I can't move abook.mda or bookmark.html to other directories and
connect them with my profile. Moving only the files of mail/newsaccounts will work.
In prefs.js exists an entry only for the abook.mda, but not with an absolut link
like mail/newsaccounts separate a relative link without directory-information. A
n attempt with absolut directories failed

under linux someone managed the moving of those two files with "symbolic links"
at the location of their original position

can you give a workaround?
the possibility of moving adressbook and bookmarks would be interesting for
sharing them in a network or using them with different mozillaprofiles on one
workstation
