Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[eisenbergpr]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 2.0.0.22 (20090605)

Copied 2 Thunderbird profiles to a flash drive.
Installed Thunderbird on new computer
Created 2 profiles using Profile Manager(thunderbird.exe -ProfileManager)
In profiles, navigated to the each profile files (also confirmed in account settings in Thunderbird)
One profile works fine, all features and functions
Other profile, cannot find address books - even though they are present in the profile.  Actual E-Mail folders are there and remainder of E-Mail program seems to work fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See "details" above
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
The only way I can get the other profile to work is actually install the files on the computer.


NOTE: Want to access files from a flash drive on my Mini computer.

I was able to create the 2 profiles on another laptop computer without a trouble, but the difference is both profiles are resident on the computer (not on  a flsh drive/memory stick)

Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
