Details

On Windows Systems Thunderbird use the wrong user paths to save the data.

Other Gecko-based products like Firefox, B2G, ... use the "Local"- & "Roaming"-Folders and then a folder call "Mozilla" and then in this folder a product folder (e.g. "Firefox").
Thunderbird don't use the "Mozilla"-Folder and saves the data direct in folders called "Thunderbird".
I think Thunderbird should keep the folder structure used by other Geck-based-apps and should also use the "Mozilla"-Folders.

Example by Firefox:
c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\
c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\

Paths by Thunderbird:
c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\
c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\
