[Solved] Mozilla Thunderbird does not access both accounts

[daveski]

I am using Mozilla Thunderbird version 17.0 with PCLOS KDE, fully updated as POP mail.  When the /home/.thunderbird/profiles.ini file points to my profile [xlt926so.default], all of my T'bird folders appear correctly.  But when I added my wife as an account, her folders, copied from Windows 7, do not appear, only her just-accessed mail.  But if the /profiles.ini file points to her profile, all of her data and folders does appear but not mine.  Her account uses the same settings as mine.  I need a /profiles.ini file that will access both our profiles.  My /profiles.ini file is:  

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=xlt926so.default

I would appreciate any help. Thanks.   David

This problem was solved by my revising my profile.ini to:

[General]
StartWithLastProfile=0

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=profiles/default.cta

[Profile1]
Name=David
IsRelative=1
Path=profiles/xlt926so.default

[Profile2]
Name=Sarah
IsRelative=1
Path=profiles/sjbsttgs.Sarah
Default=1

This .ini now points to both profiles, 1 and 2.  Then, to keep them separated when logging-in to Thunderbird, I ran
  thunderbird -profilemanager   in Konsole and unchecked  "Don't ask at startup".  Now, each time T'bird starts, the Profile Manager appears, permitting access to either of the profiles.
